Starting FORTEO tomorrow and so nervous.

I have osteoporosis but have had no fractures and I have not tried other less expensive drugs. I have severe scoliosis and spinal stenosis and found out about the osteoporosis when the spine doctor recommended surgery. I can’t have surgery without the bone building, hence Forteo.

clairemcl, oh my gosh. I see your issue. I would think given your spine issues and the need for surgery would be enough to satisfy insurance. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

I have been on alendronate (generic fosamax) with little benefit. My endo is focused on stronger bone building meds (Forteo/Tymlos) since I'm only 66.
