Has anyone not used medication after First Dexa scan spine -2.8?
I am 57, 5'2" and 110 pounds and have just had my first DEXA scan spinal -2.8 osteoporosis, femoral neck and hips -1.3. I exercise and eat well. I did go through surgical menopuase at 50. I have a blocked LAD artery and use injections of repatha for this. I am giving all these details because I really don't want to start any of these medications and wondering if anyone has ignored pressure from doctors, all of mine are encouraging Reclast. I am scared and tired of looking at all the pros and cons of everything. thank you in advance

@osteopatient2026 How Shilajit Protects BonesShilajit is a nutrient-dense mineral resin that acts on skeletal health through several biological pathways:Mineral Transport: Shilajit is exceptionally rich in fulvic acid. Fulvic acid acts as a natural "nanotransporter," binding to minerals like calcium and magnesium to drastically improve their absorption through cell membranes into bone tissue.Cell Regulation: It promotes the proliferation of osteoblasts (bone-building cells) while optimizing the RANKL/OPG protein balance to slow down osteoclasts (cells that break down bone).Collagen Production: It positively upregulates genes responsible for creating collagen, which forms the flexible structural scaffolding inside bones.Oxidative Stress & Inflammation Control: Estrogen deficiencies cause a spike in systemic inflammation that weakens bones. Shilajit lowers inflammatory markers like
