People are very not sure where to turn. My friend who had maybe osteopenia went on fosamax and a month or two later lost a tooth and needed an implant. The implant took 2 years to be bc accepted by her mouth. She doesn’t know if the fosamax messed with her healing

Do you take medicine ?

I agree that with your numbers that you’ve handled things well . I honestly think the answer is the gym for those who can do gym exercise. I make myself go to the gym every day and I feel it’s like daily medicine even if I only do 30 minutes of the recumbent bike which is my lazy light exercise. I think the supplements and medicine are like bandaids and don’t really make you work your bones and body.
My dad aged physically very well and always exercised and my mom refused to exercise , refused medicines and refused supplements and aged physically very poorly but she did heal very well from a hip fracture when she was very old.
I am doing the gym , supplements and medicine and I am 60 years old and my spine number is -4.7 and my femurs are -3.1 and -3.4. I am extremely concerned about spine, however, I am not sure my dexa is accurate due to that I had a tech who had never seen the machine before and was not careful with my placement and the block . Also I am small framed with osteoarthritis or arthritis in lower spine plus have minor scholiosis. My osteoporosis is one of my top life priorities. I go between 2-4 pm every day so I get responsibilities done in the morning then exercise in the afternoon. I tried fosamax which I thought was terrible but now I know I had a more tolerable experience with fosamax than I did with Boniva. My next medical appt is with a bone specialist endocrinologist. - a higher expert than my last endocrinologist who has a specialty in hormones.
