Bone density in hips severe, take crestor (rosuvastatin) for high cholesterol, mother stroke at 77. dr. recommends evista, so many scary side effects. yes or no?

Evista (raloxifene) has: been shown to help prevent spine fractures, but does NOT help prevent hip fractures, so I couldn't recommend it for that reason. The crestor will help bone density a little. Make sure you're taking the proper calcium and vitamin D. THere are other options, and it depends upon whether you have been on other therapy before. check w/your doctor.
