Do you remember what your score was when your sword tai chi stabbed your in the back?
I am totally freaked out by my numbers! Since, osteoporosis numbers like mine are not discovered until there is a fracture, I've not seen any numbers like mine scouring the internet, associated or not with low-impact fractures.

I did not have an injury from a sword doing tai chi! I practiced that form of tai chi, which requires a lot of strength.I was just saying that I felt strong and powerful at the time. No symptoms of osteoporosis.
I had 4 thoracic fractures in 2006 from a horrible fall, causing my upper back to hit the corner of a concrete (icy) step. That was before I had actual osteoporosis.
In 2021 I had three lumbar fractures from an unwise movement (similar to pulling a bathing suit on while seated in the car). My scores at the time were between -3.4 and -3.7 for lumbar spine.

I had numbers close to yours. Both femoral necks were -2.5. Lumbar spine was -4.5. My GP put me on Reclast for 2 years. After 2 years on Reclast -2.4 in left hip and -2.5 in right
Lumbar spine -4.1. I have now had 1 year of Prolia. -2.2 in left hip and -2.5 in right. -3.6 in lumbar spine! Previously I had back pain from possible compression fractures. That mostly disappeared about 10 months into Prolia.
