Has anyone improved bone density without meds?

After 5 years of Risedronate, my new doctor wants to put me on Prolia, because my lumbar spine degraded these past two years to -3.6. I asked him if it is good at targeting the spine. He said, "None of them target a specific area." It sounds from you post that Forteo might work better on the spine than other meds? I thought a doctor in the past told me some are better at certain areas than others. Thanks for any advice anyone might have from other doctors or pharmacists.

I have read on other people's responses that some drugs seem to target the hip area and others would target the spine. You may have to do a little reading through all of the comments, but I think you might find that helpful as well as the papers written by the pharmaceutical company.
Some seem to show significant improvements and others are improvements but minor.
What I didn't realize is that what you have built up. You then have to maintain some way so it is definitely a lifetime commitment with the various various br drugs. Best of luck!

it is my understanding that Forteo does mostly target the spine. I'm not as familiar with Tymlos but since it's the same hormonal make up, I would imagine the same.
