sorry, probably the wrong wording to use on my part. Yes, clearly in the osteoporosis category and since you have lost a lot of density in your spine in particular, Forteo or Tymlos would likely be a good option for you.

Hope you are able to move forward with a good plan to restore your bone health!

Don't worry, it wasn't the wrong wording... I'm aware that the scores on my spine are very, very bad. I'm scared of losing my height and losing my posture, but most of all, I'm scared of fractures. Of losing my independence... It has gotten to a point where I become too aware of every movement. I love walking and I do it on a daily basis, but I'm not confident to get a gym membership and lift weights (even thought it might actually help).... because I'm afraid that I will somehow "crush" my spine. Maybe it's just my anxiety speaking. But I'm being honest now.

I have one more question: Why is it that more often, the scores in the spine are worse than the ones in the hips? It's a pattern that I notice in many people.
