I was diagnosed recently with osteoporosis.

My scores in 2010 were
Lumbar spine -2.2
Left hip -3.2
Femoral neck -3.2

In 2022
Spine -2.3
Hip -2.8
Femoral neck -3.4

Both scans performed at the same facility.

I definitely have idiopathic hypercalcuiria and not any kidney disease.

For some reason my dr wants to go straight to evinity instead of anything in pill form. I’m so happy for you being able to rebuild your bone density so much!

I have heard that spinal fractures are nothing to sneeze at. Literally. I can’t imagine being out of commission for the length of time that must take to recover from!

Thanks for posting, Janet! If you don't mind sharing , were there symptoms or some other clue that alerted you to the possibility of hypercalcuiria?

Just wondering because my med results to date haven't been as good as hoped, compared to the ladies posting here and I'm trying to figure out why. My doc just encourages me to continue with 2nd year on Tymlos before investigating further - doesn't seem all that concerned yet. But I'd like to rule some stuff out myself.
