I like a current M.D. who educated me on Reclast, once-a-year injection. I have a copy of the New England Journal of Medicine article. So, I am satisfied enough to comply with the doctor's recommendations. I already had a compression fracture in the spine. But, because, I am physically active, particularly in my 70's, I never felt any pain. I did break a wrist back in 2009, when, I was simply sitting on the bicycle a fell over when anxious about entering a crosswalk.
Never again have I broken a bone. Lots of strengthening exercises supervised by a trainer and using a training manual/workbook for weight lifting exercises.
Now, I have an athletic physique after years of going to the gym and participating in classes and training. At least that counteracts looking weak and being at risk for a fall.
Because the private M.D. had taken me off Fosamax and did not follow up with DexiScans, I did have a decline in bone density in the spine. So, I learned my lesson to have a knowledgeable and caring M.D. who knows about women's health and bone strengthening particularly for later life. I recommend prevention. I like supplements and modern medicine.
That is working for me at this time.
