Hi,
My DEXA scan was also -3.3 -- they suggested Tymlos - trying to wrap myself how and
should I inject myself for 2 years, without proven results.....and then how do you hold on
to the results that perhaps you have I have attained. just starting to walk without my cane, but
I still lift weights (very slowly) on my bench (have one in home). I felt that if I could do 5 reps
4x a week, it would help. It has, I feel stronger, yes my back and sciatic and leg ache, but I know I have gained strength in my upper body and the mind set is much better. Keep moving is my motto, if you don't you will be underground.

@karensm feeling strong does not necessarily correlate with bone strength. I am very cautious about lifting anything but I have fractures. I had excellent gains on Tymlos, going from severe to borderline osteoporosis in spine. The injections are easy, tiny needles, just like brushing my teeth. You can adjust the dose and ramp up if you have troublesome side effects.
