Dr, McCormick is a chiropractor in western MA who is an expert on osteoporosis and has written two books: "The Whole Body Approach to Osteoporosis" and "Great Bones." "Great Bones"" is 700+ pages and deals more with meds than the first book. He does consults by phone and in person. First appointment is $300 then it goes down.
I have an endocrinologist who guides my treatment so for me McCormick is a supplementary opinion. Besides he cannot prescribe or order tests.
My spinal t-score has gone from -3.6 to -2.5 after two years of Tymlos.
PCP's tend to start you on a bisphosphonate or Prolia. I would find an endocrinologist. Rheumatologists can also treat osteoporosis and sounds like you might have one.
