Osteoporosis: Yes, you truly have osteoporosis but your endocrinologist will order appropriate treatment. The best preventative measure is Don't fall! Keep your leg muscles in strong shape and do exercises to develop good balance, hold onto bannisters going down stairs, be extra careful walking outdoors on ice,irregular surfaces, avoid having loose objects on flooring,etc. don't smoke or take steroids.
