Along with taking the medications you will also benefit from lifestyle changes. Make sure you have a healthy balanced diet, avoid smoking and alcohol and get regular exercise. Has someone investigated to see if there is a genetic cause for both of you having osteoporosis and you getting it at such an early age.
If the bone density is not increasing by these changes, then you may need other medications , which will help in increasing bone density. Please see an Orthopaedician or a Physician for further management.
