@255anny did your dexa report come with TBS? If so, even you didn't have bmd% increase with Forteo, you could compare TBS scores before and after to get a sense whether there were improvements in bones' micro architecture. I read that if the dexa machine that you used didn't have the function but later installed the software, you can ask your old data to be inputted in and TBS score be calculated.

My TBS score was 1.3 L3-L4 were 1.308. TBS T-score was -1.6. TBS Z-Score was 0.4
BMD 0.579

I have no clue how to interpret these numbers. I will have to go back to my first DEXA for that info, if it's on that scan. My scans since that very first one are done on the same machine, same operator and has the TBS scoring in the program. Good point you made, I can try to see if I have that onfo. The Dr did mention my Bone Quality was ok.
My FRAX score, adjusted for TBS is 37.8% for a major fracture. Scary indeed
