Had a radial hysterectomy last September. I am 65 years old, small framed, 5' 4", weight 50 kg. Took HRT during menopause but stopped about 5 years ago. I have beginnings of osteoporosis. my mother had several fractures by age 65yrs. I had an accident 14 years ago fracturing my spine in 3 places I have arthritus in my spine and some other joints. I am actually extremely active as far as my back allows. I am considering taking HRT to help aches, pains, and generally feel better. What form should I take?
