Lupron

My daughter took her last Lupron shot last month.  About the time she stopped taking them I read an article on Lupron and bone density loss.  I believe the article dealt with adult women taking Lupron for endometriosis.  Still, it is Lupron.  My daughter has broken each arm just above the wrist, her thumb, one arm a little higher up (stress fracture), and her ankle.  She is only 12.  We don't believe she has a bone disorder which is causing these breaks.  Each time she has been playing a sport or doing something physical when the break occurred.  There have been many times when she has fallen pretty hard and not broken a thing.  Still, we think the number of breaks is unusual.  The endocrinologist agrees, as does the orthopaedic doctor.  Neither are familiar with the article I read on bone density.  Kristin is scheduled for a bone density test in October (first time they could schedule her).  Meanwhile, does anyone else have any experience or knowledge about this?
