Osteoporosis - Loss of Bone Density

As a group with limited weight bearing over the years, I am interested if members have been advised to take medication for osteoporosis and if so, what has been your experience with that specific medication. Any fractures of hip, spine or thigh bone ?

I'm not as disabled as many of you, and I have always been reasonably active.  As of blood tests and X-rays about 4 months ago I do not have osteoporosis.  I have apparently inherited my grandfather's hunch, though.
