Been to the osteoporosis clinic today, didn't go overly well apparently a score of - 2.4 in my femoral hip isn't borderline osteoporosis when - 2.5 is!!! I've been on Tamoxifen since the end of 2013 and that is supposed to help your bones, but it hasn't helped mine!!!! He's chenged me to Raloxifene to try and improve my bones, anyone have any thought on this
