Study suggests hormone therapy may help protect bone health in women

Hi,
I’m 62 years old with Osteoporosis of the spine (T-score -3.1) and I started HRT in mid January. I was wondering if anyone else has mild side effects from the HRT. I’m experiencing mild mid back soreness in the morning and stomach bloating. In addition to HRT I’m going to OsteoStrong once a week, taking the right vitamins and brisk walking 4 to 5 days a week. I’m hoping to see some improvement in my next Dexascan in November. The back soreness makes me nervous because I don’t know if my spine is deteriorating or if it’s just a side effect from the HRT. It’s so hard to know if what you’re doing is working. Anyone else feel sore on HRT? It’s mainly upon waking for me.

Please do your homework on Osteostrong, there have been reports of some fracturing as a result. I prefer to go the route recommended by Margaret Martin PT , well respected in the Osteo world, using weights that after 10 repetitions you have reached your max.

I don't experience any side effects from HRT. I'm on the lowest dose, .025 transdermal. Maybe the soreness is from the OsteoStrong exercises?
(and by the way...I always freak whenever I have some back discomfort but fortunately, it comes and goes along with my freak out)
