A member asked:
What would be the cause of only having worsening osteoporosis in hips only?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Osteoporosis: is osteoporosis, no matter where the bone loss is. Alendronate works better on the spine than the hips, but does generally help in both areas. Discuss w/your physician.
