Sounds so familiar with my endocrinologist. She said to take the injection for 2 years and repeat a dexa scan after. I was lucky enough to see a functional medicine aprn that although she is not an osteoporosis specialist, she has ordered various tests including the bone markers. I have an upcoming appointment with Dr. McCormick in May. Don't get discouraged because you have to keep trying and get a 2nd opinion with another endocrinologist. I just made an appointment with UCONN Osteoporosis center but that's in July. In the meantime, perhaps your family doctor can send a referral to another endocrinologist? That's what I did because you have to be your own health advocate. Sounds like you are doing that but keep up and don't let your endocrinologist rule you and even ignore you. They should be working for you!
