HRT for scoliosis?

Posted by tillymack @tillymack, Aug 24 12:59pm

I've been diagnosed with moderate scoliosis and osteopenia. After decades on Evista for osteopenia then switched to Reclast for the additional scoliosis symptoms, my curve has not improved. I'm interested in adding HRT to the mix rather than switching from Reclast to another stronger osteoporosis medication. I wonder if anyone has tried HRT for bone strength or the usual reasons while being treated for osteoporosis. Any input greatly appreciated.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Spine Health Support Group.

Biophosphates help prevent our bodies from absorbing our bones and HRT does not and is not a biophosphate. You don’t indicate whether your scoliosis is new or you’ve been living with it so here is a primer.
