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.

You are a real testimony to bone integrity! My T score is -3.5. I was training for a hike last summer and took a couple of tumbles in the Rocky Mountains. I hadn't been diagnosed yet, but nothing broke or compressed and I feel relieved about that. I'm not counting on it, but my bone strength does give me some hope. Which medicine did you decide to take, if you are willing to share that?
