[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for all the responses. I am 5’6 and weigh 125 pounds. My weight has been stable for years. I am interested in hearing people’s experiences with specific medications.  My body tends to react poorly to trying new medications.  For instance, I just had a tetanus shot a normal tetanus shot and I’ve been out of commission for over a week.  I’m certainly not opposed to going on medications, but I would just like to hear from people who have been there with this situation.  [b]My primary care doctor indicates that there is no real specialist for osteoporosis.[/b]  She actually encouraged me to just watch it for a year or so I’m not really comfortable doing that now that it’s full-blown osteoporosis.  I also had a CTX blood test and the results for that weren’t good either. I am interested in the echo light scan. I can’t seem to find it locally.  Any information is appreciated thank you.[/quote]

Endocrinologists are experts in metabolism. Osteoporosis is a disease of bone metabolism. Your PCP is not great but you also need to see an endocrinologist who does bone.[/quote]
