alkaline phosphotase rises with Forteo because as it's a marker of bone acquisition.
I really don't like to sit. No movie or dinner dates for me. But sometimes I have to take long drives. Using ice helps but as ridiculous as this sounds pool noodles help the most. I have one cut in lengths of eight inches and I move them around to wherever they are the most comfortable. It shifts the stress to different muscles, so no one area is constantly strained. Sometimes I use just one vertically at the spine sometimes to the right of the spine. Mostly I use one horizontally wherever it feels best that being wherever it needs support. But I shift them constantly.
Did the back pain with Evenity start with the first injection and worsen at the 11th? or was the onset gradual.

I knew that about the alkaline phosphotase but the doctor I was going to didn't see it that way. My new doctor understands that. The back pain from Evenity started with the first shot, sporadically at first but by injection 9 it was most of the time and more intense. I also have osteoarthritis which could have something to do with it. Someone else had mentioned that Evenity can affect the arthritis.
Thanks for the tips on the noodles. I was using them for awhile but stopped for some reason. Maybe I'll try them again.

I will be cutting up a pool noodle tomorrow.
