My BMD measured at Femur 0.581 with a t score of -3.4. He said Im totally in need of shots but after reading possible side effects Im petrified. Anyone here ever take this med for Osteoporosis?

I should have added to my comments that you could also get some advice from an experienced physiotherapist about techniques for protecting your spine. You can also learn exercises which strengthen the core and muscles lining and supporting the spinal column. Practicing tai chi or similar exercise can improve one's sense of balance. As most fractures, whether a person has bone thinning or not, are caused by falling, maintaining and improving balance could be a really important way of preventing fracture.
