Forteo weight gain & no bone improvement

I was only able to be on Forteo for 6 months as well. Had a coupon till then. Now I can't afford it and insurance doesn't cover specialty drugs!
I also have gained weight around my mid section and hips! Haven't had another bone scan since stopping Forteo. I have severe osteoporosis and arthritis. My bone pain is very unpleasant! I wish these meds were more affordable! My husband makes just over the income limit to receive any kind of help.
Good luck to you and your journey!

@inam Did you go on a bisphosphonate after Forteo to lock in your gains? Also, do you contribute the bone pain to the Forteo or the arthritis because osteoporosis isn't normally supposed to cause pain.
