rachel hip pain and HRT moves hips forward?

hi
according to an article online .... i am trying to come to grips with what i heard is there is no way estrogen changes your bone structure and this article states that it does ....i am particularly interested in the last bullet point since my right hip has had some pain for the last few months..... so to recap HRT seems to have changed my bone structure and the muscle mass. this concerns me since my physical strength has decreased and my wt has remained at 250lbs. I think i need to take off at least 80 lbs and perhaps my ideal wt is what it was after bootcamp 149lbs. 
what is next?  i just wish i could grow a vagina and surgery was not necessary. i am crying because i don't want to leave this world because of this disease when i have worked so hard all of my life to get here.
thank you

Bone

  • Both estrogens and androgens are necessary in both biological males and females for healthy bone. (Young healthy women produce about 10 mg of testosterone monthly. Higher bone mineral density in males is associated with higher serum estrogen.)
  • Bone is not static. It is constantly being reabsorbed and created. Osteoporosis results when bone formation occurs at a rate less than bone reabsorption.
  • Estrogen is the predominant sex hormone that slows bone loss (even in men.)
  • Both estrogen and testosterone help stimulate bone formation (T, especially at puberty.)
  • The hips will rotate slightly forward due to changes in the tendons so hip discomfort is not uncommon.
