osteopenia and premenapause

by jnoh, May 20, 2009 01:48PM
My bone density test showed loss in both hips (osteopenia) and I am 51 and still menstruating.  I take 2 calciums twice a day (1000mg total) and my Vitamin D is normal.  My Dr. wants to discuss medication but all of them say they are for post menapause.  Is there a recommendation for someone in my situation?
