How much weight lifting is required to build bone?

Fear fracture…. I am 65 soon to be 66 , seeing McCormick this week and will ask the hormone replacement question, cause I too am curious. I just had an endocrinologist appt 2weeks ago. Though she is new to my case I had many questions and things I wanted to hear from her. As the last and my first and only endocrinologist recommended Forteo to me 8 months ago -4 mo post L1 fracture….. she as well thought that Forteo was best. I’ve done a lot of learning since my fx a year ago …. Anyway I popped her the question about HRT , my age, menopause etc and I’m about 10/11 years out…and her response when I brought that up was “you know I might consider doing Forteo along with some HRT. “Just thought I’d pass that on as information for you and others. Good luck on your path!!!

Thank you, Ans. I look forward to McCormick’s response to starting HRT if one is more that 10 yrs beyond menopause.
About a year ago, I found a study about post menopausal women, who took higher doses of magnesium while doing HRT, improving their trabecular bone. This article talks about that study and provides a lot helpful info that most doctors never mention to patients. https://www.drdebe.com/articles/what-your-doctor-hasnt-told-you-about-osteoporosis

Sounds like you have a pretty progressive endocrinologist. That's kind of the path that I took though I didn't do it simulatanously. I went on Forteo to build back my spine density and then went on HRT. I was 63 when I went on HRT, about 10 years out of menopause. I wonder though if you do Forteo and HRT simultaneously if there is still the risk of loss once you go off Forteo?? I really think these are unanswered questions as these are newer protocols not common practice. I'd really appreciate it if you would post what you learn from your consultation with McCormick. Hope he provides some good information and insight!
