At 58, I have the spine of an 80-year-old. Navigating osteoporosis has been difficult and expensive
Briefly

I was still recovering from multiple injuries, so the diagnosis took a back seat. I was also under the impression that loss of bone mass was less of an immediate threat to my health and wellbeing than my visible injuries.
Osteoporosis occurs predominantly in postmenopausal women. A woman in her 50s has a 14% chance of having it. By age 80, she has a 70% chance. It begins when the creation of new bone can no longer keep up with the loss of old bone.
