You need to take a combination of bisphosphonates, vitamin d3, calcium and vitamin b12, as well as increase water & protein intake. In combination with regular walks, your t-scores will improve over time (2-3 years). Cheers.

For starters, bed rest can help relieve your pain and take the extra stress off of your spine and back. Grade 1 and 2 can be managed conservatively, while grade 3 and 4 require surgical intervention. you may need to discuss your complete medical history and your current health status so that right and effective medical consultation can be provided.
Thanks.

Orthopedic Doctor•Vadodara

If arthritis is severe, she would need an intervention by a rheumatologist or an orthopedic surgeon. Some kind of surgery like replacement of joint or local steroid injection could help. As no detailed pictures or investigations are posted, teriperatide is another option for osteoporosis.
Thanks.
