My doc is pushing Reclast. I have expressed my fear for the orals now the Reclast. She is dismissing as incorrect ALL of my concerns. I might be opening a can of worms, but has anyone done the FRAX test? Go online and check it out. I did it and have only 0.1% chance of having a hip fracture in the next 10 years. I am 70. I have fallen/slipped on ice twice and a large pine cone once in the last 3 years and no break or crack. She said I was lucky. Maybe so, but I just want to try other ways to increase my bone density. She doesn't address ANY other ways to help, saying they won't help. Anyone?

Thanks for the comments, Jonijean, and the info regarding the FRAX test. I will check it out. Interesting comments about your falls. About a year ago I tripped over a door threshold and went splat, spread eagle on a tile floor. I didn't break anything either. Had a little pain in my wrist from trying to break my fall, but that was it. Nothing broken.
Find another Dr.
I did Reclast in April and had statistically significant increase in bone density by September. I have had no side effects from it. Blessings to you.

I have done Tymlos, Forteo, Evenity (12 months), and one Reclast infusion. The Tymlos was only five months- five months on Forteo also. The short courses of those drugs was a cost issue.
After the Forteo and Tymlos, I had bone improvement. After the Evenity, also significant improvements.
I haven’t had side effects from any of these drugs.
I realize that I may be having side effects without obvious symptoms.
But, I had to do something and as I, too, have GERD, it couldn’t be oral meds.
The GERD is the worst - symptom wise - thing I’ve ever had. Night before last, I had to talk myself down when I wanted to go to ER.
Felt like a heart attack. Nope. GERD.
