I have been on Reclast Fusion once a year for the past two years. Last year's Dexiscan improved T scores with the femur and neck, but my spine remained the same with osteoporosis.
However, I continue weight lifting, swimming, road and mountain biking, and the three-mile walk when I can't get to the gym.
Everything is paced and at my own rate; I have had no slips or falls. My balance has improved, and I walk fast. However, I have good running shoes with orthotics.
I am not an athlete; I am just an "exercise enthusiast" who wants to ward off potential disease and improve bone health. Plus, exercise keeps my mood happy.
I am 76 and registered for the Huntsman Senior World Games, St. George, Utah, in October 2025 for my fourth year!

Thank you. Now, I am being followed by an Endocrinologist for the osteoporosis/penia. I have been on Reclast Fusion for three years now. I continue with my workouts, which include weightlifting, group aerobic and strengthening exercises, swimming laps, and outdoor bicycling. I have had some improvement on the Tscores for the femur and neck bones. The spine remains the same TScore and has not worsened, for which I am grateful. I am 76 years old. My balance and coordination have improved markedly. I do not experience trips, slips, or falls.
I am glad to help any other woman get started on an exercise program for bone health. I think that this is preparing me for my next decade of life.

@psmith7959 . Thank you. I have now been on Reclast Infusions for the past three years, as administered by an Endocrinologist. I am in the Osteopenia range for the femur, spine, and hip. The improvement in Tscores is about one-tenth of a point.
I do not expect reversal of Osteopenia at my age of 77 years old. But I believe this because I have been diligent with weightlifting, swimming, bicycling, and cardio at the gym or outdoors. I was first diagnosed in 1998. Over all those years, I have had one wrist fracture, sixteen years ago, and one mild L1 fracture of the spine about 10 years ago. I have been on and off various biosophates since 1998. I still do not have pain and remain active for my age.
I have looked up medical journal articles on Reclast. My current issue is, why am I being recommended to go another three years on this medication? So, many of us as patients need to do our own research so as to have informed discussions with the treatment M.D.
I still ski, but I have studied up on fall prevention and have strengthened my legs, calves, knees, feet, and even my toes! Good luck. Bone health is my priority now.

@psmith7959 are you at all worried with the heavy weightlifting that you might fracture because of the stress? That weighs heavily on my mind I used to live heavy, but since getting the osteopenia, I haven’t dare do anything much with my joints for fear that something might snap with a strange movement or something curious about if you have any concerns or advised anything by your doctor?
