Wow, pricey med I have found. 1st month alrdy put me in the "donut hole" in my Medicare Adv plan and went from $3.00 a montn to 234.00 a month and not sure after that. I also applied for Medicare extra help but havent heard anythig yet. I need this medicine as I have 5 broken vertebra after lifting a couch with undiagnosed osteoporsis. This sucks as I have been in pain for 6 m. nonstop. I only been on this drug a month and just ordered my refill holy cow! as 67 who was active and now feel like 100. Hope this med works! Good luck

Have you looked into financial assistance from the company? I got Radius Assist or Tymlos. Both Forteo and Tymlos are reputed to help healing and I had dramatic gains on Tymlos, which is similar to Forteo.

I have a lot of fractures too. The pain does improve over time but I have relapses if I do even minor lifting! I am very careful. Walking and tai chi help me.
