I wonder if Tymlos and Forteo only help trabecular bones.

@sallyj2 just want to repeat: Tymlos does not apparently cause loss of cortical bone, as Forteo might- according to my docs.
And I had 9% gain in hip on Tymlos.
ps this is not to say Forteo isn't a good medicine!

I am so happy you had a gain in your hips! My doctor said that he thought eventually, by the end of treatment, that people would see gains in their hips, but that it was theoretically possible to lose a little cortical bone at first. He said, that might not correlate to increased fracture risk. Hard dilemmas!
