Also, after the 4.5 years on fosamax, did you get off completely? I’m 58 and go results from my first bone scan last week. the average on my spine scan was -3.3. At one vertebrae-3.8. Pretty severe for my age. I’m a very anrhletic person and run, bike, hike. No back pain. Pretty scared. Doing lots of research right now.

I got diagnosed at 58 and now at 73 am using medication for the first time. I will get my first scan after starting Tymlos next month. My scores were no better than that and my wrist was my worst. They have gotten worse over the last couple of years; my hips are the least affected, -3.3 and -3.7. I am due to have one replaced soon, due to arthritis. However, I have no fractures, even in my spine, (-4.9), so I have been lucky and there is more to bone strength than just density. There are much better treatments available now then there were when I was first diagnosed so I hope you will soon be reassured.
