Which one to choose: Evenity, Tymlos or Forteo?

The endocrinologist I see said none of his patients have had a negative side effect from Evinity. My sister did Evenity and had no problems. The endocrinologist said Evenity or Tymlos. Then he chose Evenity for me. I did n’t think to ask why that over the other one, but I like that Evenity is for a year.
The nurse at the infusion center where I get the Evenity injections said she has not injected anyone who had a side effect, and that every one who goes to get the injection has completed the year long injections. All of that took away a lot of the fear of side effects.
It could happen to me, but I’m ore confident that it will
My biggest concern is that someone said the Evenity works best on the spine. My spine T score is back to zero. It’s the hips that are at -2. Well, it’s what it is and we’ll see down the road how it ends up. 😊

If any provider should tell me that NONE of their patients have had a negative side effect, I would immediately lose any confidence in them that I might have had. I will accept that none have had a major side effect but not their denying any effect. I would also accept that very few had a negative effect. Being less that totally honest is not something I want in a provider. Why then should I trust them on anything!

@willow5 I don’t know where the person(s) here received that information on Evenity—that it works better on spine. My endocrinologist did not say that and I haven’t read that anywhere. In fact my endocrinologist’s concern was that I gain more bone density in my femur (hip). I had a bone density scan on November 19 and that’s exactly what happened. I made a significant gain in bone density in my hip (6% gain) and did make a gain in my spine (4% gain). I did the 12 months of Evenity with no side effects. I had my first Reclast infusion two days ago with no after-infusion side effects. If indeed this Reclast infusion locks in the gains as my endocrinologist predicted then I will be very satisfied.
