In a recent x-ray what looks like a tumor is on L3 and have also been diagnosed with severe osteoporosis Any link between the two?

Answer... There are cancers that secrete hormones that can affect bone metabolism, just like normal hormones. There are also some treatments that can have an effect on hormones such as supressing male hormones [in males] to combat prostate cancer. The cancers that secrete hormones that would effect bone metabolism are pretty rare, however... The best thing would be for your practitioner to refer you to an endocrinologist who can order appropriate blood tests to determine the cause of your osteoporosis... And who can manage the condition. Hope things work out well for you!
