I reversed osteoporosis without drugs

@debraran I had some hard falls with no breaks but fracture three lumbar vertebrae in the movement of putting a bathing suit on in the car. It is hard to judge bone strength from falls and from activities too. At the time I was taking classes in sword tai chi and feeling powerful.
Editing to add: just saw your DEXA scores on another thread and yours aren't too bad at all, so you are in a different situation than I was!

Important point. And I too had some hard falls without breaks. I am very active. One nasty fall was on the tennis court running forward full speed and tripping over an undone shoelace that sent me airborne, landing with full body weight on one wrist. No break, only a bad sprain.
When I first read somewhere that bone density and bone strength could be different things, I tried to research what/how this might be and how it is determined. It was a very frustrating exercise.
I just purchased McCormick's book with the aim/hope of learning more about this particular issue, among other things. Unfortunately I do not have time at present to explore my new book as thoroughly as necessary; it is quite detailed.
In the meantime, if anyone has already tried to figure this out, I would appreciate an executive summary of what you have learned so far.

Oh what were your scores? I do see women who's doctor's wrote scripts for meds with osteopenia which was a shock to me. Yes, it's very complicated. Even my doctor said nothing is foolproof.
