I started Forteo on Jan. 11, 2024. Every month at one of my many doctor appointments, I was always gaining slowly. I weighed 110 in December 2023 and now I weigh 130 and mostly the extra weight is in the abdomen and thighs, I have itchy skin and pain in both knees.

I'm on tymlos and having pain in both knees too. It's harder to go up and down the stairs and I've only been on it for 4 months.

Yes, I gained 7 pounds over the course of about two months. I stopped taking it for a month due to other reasons and, without changing my diet, I lost 4 pounds within a couple of weeks. During that time, I also noticed improvements in fatigue and brain fog, both of which cleared up while off the medication. Despite these side effects, I’m continuing with it to weigh them against the more serious risk of spinal fractures.
