Just finished my year on Evenity and had these T-score results compared to 18 months ago:
AP Spine was -1.2; now -0.2
Femoral Neck was -3.0; now -2.8
Total Hip was -2.1; now -1.7
Total Forearm was -2.2; now -2.4
1/3 Forearm was -2.2; now -2.3
UD Forearm was -1.5; now -2.1

Surprised about the forearm numbers getting worse!

laurensb,
Those are great improvements! Except for arms - I didn’t know they measured forearms? That never comes up on my dexa.

@laurensb

Just curious. Did you do weight bearing exercises during your treatment?
I'm asking because my first physical therapist gave me a bunch of strength building exercises that targeted legs and spine. However, when I went to a second physical therapist she insisted I add exercises to target my arms and wrist, since they also suffer osteoporotic fractures.

However, I do agree with @ans. My broken shoulder was nowhere near as painful or debilitating as the broken femur and spinal fracture.

How did you get those all those scores - My insurance only pays 1 times 2 years.

It seems a very good ideal , so that you know what is working and what is not
working.

Thank you
