I reversed osteoporosis without drugs

“Sometimes strength and bone density are not accurately read.” I can relate. When I was 49 years old (26 years ago), I had a bone density test done. I was told I had osteoporosis of the spine and osteopenia of the hips and the bones of a 90 year old. I walked out of that medical office and never went back. I focused on continuing my life as I always had. I exercised by playing tennis, working out, walking, sometimes running, eating well etc. In the past several years, I have shrunk in height and my shoulder span has decreased. I can see a slight rounding at the top of the spine/neckline. I had 4 grandparents who had osteoporosis looking shapes in some form or other as they aged. In the past year, I have really focused on doing Pilates and barre and walking st least 5 miles a day. I run occasionally and play a competitive game of Pickleball. I hope I can continue to somehow stop the shrinking by continuing to exercise and to eat well. From what I have read so far in these comments, not many people in the medical world know a whole lot about osteoporosis. And that is scary.

Yes, my gyn has studied bones and menopause for decades after dropping OB and she is conservative luckily. She doesn't dole out meds without many blood tests and discussing your body, build, strength etc. Pilates is wonderful for the core and balance. I grew 1/2 inch at one office and I joked I was standing taller, but probably true.
You seem to be doing very well staying active and moving. Great job. Any changes to diet or supplements?
