I had kyphoplasty on them so what I want to know are my Scores really bad and I appreciate I had fractures so do I need FORTEO or will I be ok without this medication

It’s up to you, but the fact you have broken so many bones would be my main concern. I haven’t personal experience of this medication, but even after breaking both wrists, I wanted some medication.

Best wishes and I hope things improve for you.

Mine Dexa shows -2.5 and I had L1 & L2 fractures and precribed Foresto. Talk to a consultant but if I was you I would certainly be taking it or bisphosomates after 5 fractures.

Best wishes.

Hi

Did you have any side effects from Forteo

[Elizabeth65 in reply to Nemone65]

Thank God, none so far and I feel I am getting better. Hope you too get advice and improve.

Thank you

if You don’t mind

Could I ask you please how long have you been taking this drug

I have been prescribed this drug but just scared of any side effects

[Elizabeth65 in reply to Nemone65]

I was prescribed it 8 weeks ago and so far so good thank God. I feel it is doingme good and helping my old fractures heal even though they say three months to heal normally but at 65 I expect it could take longer. I can now do floor exercises and touch my toes and lean backwards, roll from side to side and do normal activities. I will get an MRI in a couple of months and see if thinks have improved.
