@gently Could you please provide references for your statements about Forteo creating an improvement in bone by slightly increasing porosity. I think I might have once seen speculation that maybe it's ok somehow to have a slight bone loss in hip or forearm with Forteo and that eventually as you get further along in your treatment period the density will increase. My memory is hazy on that and may not be accurate but I don't believe I've seen anything suggesting that any osteoporosis med is increasing bone strength while decreasing density.

Regardless I'd love to see references showing that bone loss in the hip or forearm with Forteo is really ok. Thanks

awfultruth,
https://jofem.org/index.php/jofem/article/view/382/464 Reflecting "[I]ncrease in cortical porosity through reopening of remodeling space with the removal of older, more mineralized bone and replacement with newer less mineralized bone during treatment with TPP. This article is about the heavier, but weaker bone resulting from bisphosphonate treatment. The reference I'm not locating is a comparison between Tymlos and Forteo. with Tymlos bone being more dense but maybe not an advantage.
