You might stop Tymlos again to ascertain that it is the medication. Then you could try the windyshores' incremental method with pause and reversal at any return of symptom.
Curious that the toradal helped even without noticeable swelling. Good neighbor, good advice.
Tooth and jaw problems haven't been evidenced in clinical trials. Bone pain is a signaled effect.
I haven't read patient reports of jaw problems with this medication.
I think it must be related because it went away when you stopped the med. Another test would be more evidence. Bone pain is a common side effect of Tymlos.
Your endocrinologist could switch you to Forteo.

Keep posting.

Good morning - as I have come to learn - inflammatory reactions are not swelling reactions. Two separate things. Quickly grabbed this explanation:
"Swelling is any abnormal enlargement of a body part. It is typically the result of inflammation or a buildup of fluid. Edema describes swelling in the tissue outside of the joint. Effusion describes swelling that is inside a joint, such as a swollen ankle or knee."
More: (I think of it as my nerves being triggered) and if left unchecked it will turned to swelling (edema pressure). But I agree, they are hard to untangle and happen together and we don't think about the separation.
Switching was mentioned but I have to check. Forteo also had issues - don't want to jump the frying pan into the fire! just yet! (they won't let me post the link but you can google the differences between swelling and inflammation.
