I'm a 37 year old male with Coeliac, osteoporosis, vit D & folic acid deficiency, I had a T5 compression fracture Jan 2016 because I have suffered with anxiety & depression since January due to the events and life adjustments/mobility my question is, would this scenario fit the rheumatologist's view that things are serious enough to warrant an immediate need to start a once yearly Zoledronic IV ?

: T-Scores spine -3.7. Hip -2.7

Any advice welcome for or against

    Hi Paul, I'm 46 and have had osteoporosis for 15 years t score -5 in the spine and -2.5 in the hip, the condition drives me crazy as I feel like I'm waiting for a fracture to happen everyday! I had my second IV of Zod Acid last month, since the last infusion I have started sertraline for anxciaty. Was you offered treatment for you fracture like kyphoplasty?

    Regards
