Experiences with

Fractures

How is administration of Eligard performed? Is it different than Lupron? Is it different than Firmagon? My husband is getting his first 3 month injection of Eligard and he is wondering what to expect. He was previously getting monthly Firmagon shots and for the last four months he's been taking Orgovyx

Currently on Eligard & Zytiga and strongly considering an Orchiectomy. Is there any benefit to Eligard over surgery and testicle removal? I understand all of the psychological aspects, I'm interested in any treatment advantage between long term LHRH agonists vs testicle removal. My Gleason scores

I am seeking advice to help with my fractures. Have had the 2 year treatment with Forteo, still having issues. What do I do next?

In the past I did have two vertebral fractures. My DEXA scan is very poor because I stopped taking probably are due to the pandemic and other decisions not to take such a strong medication.My daughter is upset with me and warned me that I could wind up in a wheelchair.

I'm going in for an xray of my feet/ankles to check for fractures. Next Tuesday, I begin the daily injections of Forteo. I've started calcium/vitamin D. Due to the severity of my osteoporosis combined with my age, I'm really worried about what the next few years of my life will look like.

Prior to this and following a private consultation, Margaret was awaiting a CT scan with contrast dye to start to check whether there was any bone cancer which may be making her fractures so frequent and of course, to find out whether we could go ahead safely with the Forsteo.

I already take Curcumin and Vit K2 on top of ADCAL supplements and wondered if anyone has used Proteolytic Enzymes. Are they worth the money? I am currently on 7.5mg Steriods and taking Alendronic acid too.

Having initially bruising and not being able to move or walk straight had xrays, no fractures found and examined by doctors for the norm and ECG. Again nothing remarkable noted.

Hi there . Well Osteoporosis Nurse came Friday . Lovely lady and we discussed and discarded most of the treatments because of various medical conditions I have . Fortunately I had done my homework and read up on Teriparatide ( which was mentioned on here ) . Nurse and consultant have both agreed
