Esb13, Thank you for the advice! I did switch to brisk walking for 45minutes to 1 hour almost daily. I live in a very hot southern climate, so if I don’t get out early AM right when the sun is rising, it’s a no go! Physical therapy has done a lot to “free up” my upper back and we work on balance.

This site has been so amazing! It’s really hard to get clear direction on this like supplements—so these discussions really help! I am really hoping the doc I see in July recommends Forteo or Tymlos (and that insurance will cooperate!)—we will see! Blessings to you and thank you for caring enough to message. I pray you have wonderful results from all you are doing!

(Oops, typo. I meant that it’s really hard to get clear direction on THINGS like supplements, not hard to get direction on this site! Not sure if there is a way to go back and edit my own reply—yikes!)

You can check your insurance to see which med they cover before you see your doctor. Mine only covered Tymlos. My doctor prescribed it but my doctor had to appeal it twice to get it covered. I have employer insurance, not Medicare. If for some reason your insurance denies you, make sure doctor appeals it.
