You can tell him it's not forever. Forteo may very well make it possible for him to empty the dishwasher in 12=18 months. Everyone is different but Tymlos, a similar drug, improved my spine 20% and I went from severe to borderline osteoporosis. I still wouldn't bend and lift anything heavy, even two bowls at a time!
Margaret Martin at melioguide.com is the best for exercises. She has a website with videos and a book. Recently she posted a class for those of us with fractures, though it costs $89. I just withdrew from a PT program since few understand fractures. I did have a good PT who did massage and careful exercise but she retired.
Sounds like he is doing pretty well except for the risk of fractures. I am sorry for what you went through! I could at least watch movies in bed!

Radius Pharmaceuticals presented real-world evidence at the World Congress on Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases on 12 April 2024, demonstrating that Tymlos therapy resulted in a lower incidence of hip and nonvertebral fractures compared to teriparatide therapy in women with osteoporosis aged 50 and older.
The analysis was based on over 18 months of treatment data involving 43,352 patients, and highlighted Tymlos’ efficacy and safety profile as an important treatment option for osteoporosis management.
Despite limitations in the real-world evidence, the study supported Tymlos’ value in reducing fracture risk, further solidifying its role in addressing osteoporosis.
