@mayblin I don't think lack of exercise explains your situation. I hope you will do Forteo for two years and have a DEXA then. It is still early to do a DEXA. The loss in your hip is a mystery. What does your doctor say?

For those who are nervous about Reclast, you could ask for a test dose of 20% to see how you react. Then have another infusion at a dose of your choice in 3 months. Again, discuss with a doc!

@windyshores thank you for your thoughts! I've been reading since my puzzling dexa came out. It did seem that exercise might not help too much with bmd, although we have to do them to get stronger and get a better balance. My doctor didn't offer any explanation, guess the significant bmd decrease in hip/femoral neck puzzled her too. From what I read lately, forteo doesn't help bmd much in the femoral area. And due to the porosity increases in the cortical bones, bmd could decrease. In my case it decreased a lot, although this may not indicate decrease in strength. I sure hope so. If the trend persists, I'd have to cook up another plan with my endo.

Keep us updated with your progress with evenity and reclast. Best of luck to you!
