I have just started Prolio with a new M.D. I was without any medication for at least 5 years. At that time, I was Osteopenia for the hips and neck which had remained the same for five years without any medication.
The T and Z scores for my spine dropped from Ostopenia to Osteoperosis. So, I was upset.
When, I was on Fosamax, I simply did not have a decrease in the score. But, the M.D. Family Medicine doctor simply stopped the use of Fosamax. Then, I saw the decline and switched doctors.
The Bone Density exam is like a radiology exam. I follow the scores as well.
Probably any maintenance of bone density for me has been rigorous weight lifting, group exercise classes, swimming, and, outdoor bicycling. I am at the gym almost daily. If I am too tired for the gym, I do the 3 miles walk as a weight bearing exercise.
So far no injuries. I take preventive classes on how to avoid trips, slips, and, falls. Those are on You Tube as well. This is what I do for improving bone health, physical strength, coordination, and, aerobic capacity.
