My doctor put me on med to slow down or halt my ostensibly from getting worse but told me meds would not improve my numbers. Due to side effects I stopped meds after few months. Calcium an D plus exercise and numbers improved. I also stopped my daily can of Sprite.
Am careful and try not to fall. Do balancing and stretching. Just my story but hope it helps others

I do not take meds. I had a scan 2 years ago and my numbers were high, .-3.7.
The last 2 years I have improved what I eat, taken calcium and Vit D and exercised. Had another scan this year and my numbers are better, still not great but moving in the right direction without meds. I am 70 and Thankful.

Thanks for the inspiration. My spine is -2.6, so I’m looking forward to building bone and reversing my condition. I’m taking calcium, magnesium, vitamins d and K2. I’m also exercising and walking. Because I also have cranky joints (osteoarthritis) I decided to go to physical therapy to learn how to safely and productively exercise. Just started, but so far so good!

My scan was done at a bone clinic, who specializes on osteoporosis, and I was told, that, according to the printout, I'm back into osteopenia...???

So, as I am understanding this, it is possible that you can go from osteoporosis back to osteopenia, correct? I have been told by 3 doctors that once you have osteoporosis, you can't move your numbers back to osteopenia due to bones mineralizing. On these posts, I am reading differently. I have also researched that with meds, you can grow bone, but not necessarily fill in gaps where it is needed the most, which is concerning - almost giving a false impression - yes, you are growing bone, but no, not where it is always needed. I would love to hear from folks on this. Also, has anyone experienced positive results from using a vibrating plate. Thanks to all who can respond.
