Bone mineral density & testosterone replacement therapy

Dr. Richard Yuan-Tud Chen reviews a case where a 70 year old patient's X-ray revealed a compression fracture in a vertebra in his lower spine.  A bone mineral density assessment confirmed that the patient had significant osteoporosis, which could have been due to some specific lifestyle choices.  Treatment included  a high-dose of vitamin D2 and testosterone injections to address his deficiency.  The patient reported overall improvements in quality of life  and his lower back pain disappeared.
