I consulted with Dr. McCormick, but I also saw an endocrinologist. Both suggested either Tymlos or Forteo as a first step. That was preceded by blood tests; the endocrinologist has his set, and McCormick has some specific ones he likes to check. I also made sure I was getting enough calcium and vitamin D3, and I added vitamin K2 to the mix.

Keep in mind that none of these doctors always have the answer. I asked McCormick how I ended up with this, and he didn't know. I am guessing that it was a lack of calcium/D. As a man, I honestly didn't pay much attention to calcium. I worked out and ran, so I guess I assumed that was enough for strong bones.
