Take vitamin D,calcium,magnesium and k2. Walk a lot and do weight bearing excercises
I do take Fosamax for almost 4 years. I really think it helps but I walk 4 miles daily, exercise, eat healthy, take vitamins and supplements, taking a balance class because as you age if you fall and break a hip or any bone life gets tough so trying to do exercise so if I trip I will not fall. I feel blessed I am healthy but have osteoarthritis and osteopenia along with sore back, but I do consider myself lucky for all the things I can do. I stay very positive
Walking is the best exercise, so try to make a good walk part of your daily routine if possible. Make sure that you have plenty of calcium-rich meals (remember that there is calcium in many vegetables and some fish, not just dairy produce).

For me, it was just finding out when I did. My doctor recommended a dexa scan, and I am glad she did. I found out early enough to take steps to keep it from getting worse( thus far anyway). I stay active and I get as much calcium and vitamin D as I can. I also take Boniva which has helped me. I don't like having osteopania, but I am glad I know now.
I hope everyone had a good Christmas ๐
