Hello Windyshores,
There probably is not a day that goes by that I can forget this condition, especially since the hip fracture which took a long time to heal but I attributed much of the discomfort to having a rod and screw. It woke up my eyes to look down constantly when walking because falling is not an option. I hope I either have the courage to go on an anabolic or that increasing exercise will help increase bone density which at this point I doubt will happen. I'm trying to do the Onero Program starting next week and I had my evaluation yesterday but my back is sore so much of the time that I'm not sure I will be able to do it. I'm hoping that I can keep up the good diet and the supplements I'm on right now. I'm not advised to go on HRT by my doctor because of my age and I had a blood clot. The fact that you went on a couple of the anabolics with good toleration and such good results is helpful to know and has been encouraging to me. But I'm sorry to hear about the spinal fractures and all the pain you experienced in the healing process. Hopefully you will get total restoration. Blessings.

@edwinabutterfly just want to clarify that the fractures were before any meds (due to COVID delay). I was able to tolerate Tymlos because the pen dosing is adjustable so I could start low and move up as tolerated. I am actually more afraid of bending and twisting than falling! I have had no fractures since 2021, since I went on meds. I don't envy you a hip fracture and hope you find a path that prevents further fractures.
