A member asked:
With an osteoporosis t-score of -3.5 spine at the age of 53, can i expect a normal life? or am i going to worsen greatly. i am on strontium ranelate
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your T-score: Shows significant bone loss in the spine and increased risk for fractures. Since strontium ranelate is not approved for use in the U.S., very few american doctors have much experience with the drug. Check w/your prescribing physician.
