Struggling with making an osteoporosis treatment decision

I also have opted not to take bone building drugs. I saw an orthopedic last week for an unrelated condition to osteoporosis and discussed osteoporosis with him. He said not to take the drugs. So that made me feel way more comfortable with my decision than anyone else has.

I took one Evenity injection my family practice physician recommended with severe adverse reactions. Talked with my Ortho (my knees are wearing out!) who told me to get back on my routine of long distance walking along with light weight-bearing exercises plus taking all of the supplements we understand help maintain our bone health. I did add collagen which I had not previously taken. I already eat a healthy diet. I moved from osteoporosis to osteopenia when I maintained high activity levels. I got lazy and it showed in my dexa scores. So…back to my previous routine. Hopefully, I can improve my dexa as I did last time. Wishing you the best!

Could you share your DEXA scores? I don't want to take bone drugs but my endo Dr said I should start Prolia.
