Why Was Osteoporosis Not Diagnosed Earlier?

hi i have been recently diagnosed with osteoporosis. My endo doc wants me to get infusion of reclast. I take 81mg. aspirin daily as well as advair 3 blood pressure meds. I had bariatric surgery in 2012. Have been taking 1000mg. during this time. I have barretts, GERD and irritable bowel synd., diabetes,severe osteo arthritis, incontinence apnea and recent diagnosis or chordoma. I guess i want to know why if i have been osteopenic for many years nothing for my bones was suggested earlier. I read about jaw issues with this drug and I m concerned; for my dentist wants to start some root canal work. Help, I m looking for advice. I don t know what I should do.

osteoarthritis can stay undetected for years with perfect posture and muscle power balance , key point in not having osteoarthritis pain even if you indeed have it starts by normal 10 -20 % ankle dorsi flextion while standing , to further explain what i mean try standing on heels with dorsi flextion (toes up) while slightly leaning forwards and maintain this position for 30 sec , all your osteoarthritis pain areas will be relieved for few mins to hours

Good Luck
