Thank you so much for your reply.I hope you are doing well. I had back pain on and off for long time. This is completely different. It is so sharp that my life completely stopped for 4 months now and doctors didn’t give me specific answers. I think that pain is from fractured vertebrae, but my doctor thinks it is from annular tear and only his advice is PT which making me worse and Evenity probably not helping. I hope that side effects from Evenity will go away soon. Thinking of trying lymphatic massage and acupuncture.It supposed to help with inflammation. Only I can do it’s hope.😔

Aw, @sunny65,

I really hope this pain goes away for you. Have you asked your rheumatologist or PCP if a spinal x-ray is in order? It sounds like an annular tear would be more of an MRI situation. I had my first fracture in 2017 it - even tho' I had OP, I had never heard of compression fractures prior to that. The pain was debilitating and took some time to heal. My doc discovered it when a "just to rule out a fracture" x-ray was done, three or so years after the CF. The other three were "silent" frax and didn't cause any real pain. I did, however, have some life-altering issues with Tymlos, similar to what you describe.

Perhaps docs should instruct those of us who have OP how to lift, bend, not to twist and, above all, never, never, never shovel snow! Listen to your body and what it tells you.

Please stay in touch! All the best!
