@mariannepp My hip did heal well. I've had some x-rays since the hip surgery and it shows no problems. I was taking Fosamax prior to the total hip replacement. I had been on that medication for 3 years at that point. My surgeon advised me to stop the Fosamax about one month (I could off on that timing) prior to the surgery date.

I had a fracture of the sacrum (bone in the lower back) about two years ago due to the pelvic radiation I had for recurrent endometrial cancer. Because of that fracture my endocrinologist recommended 12 months of Evenity. I completed the Evenity and last week I had a Reclast infusion also recommended by my endocrinologist. I made significant gains in bone density (over 6% gain) in my right hip (it's my left hip where I had the hip replacement so that hip cannot be scanned for the bone density exam) and in my back (4% gain). The Reclast infusion was administered to lock in those gains. I had no symptoms or reactions to the Evenity or the Reclast infusion and I feel really great.

I asked my orthopedic surgeon lots of questions about my osteoporosis prior to the hip replacement surgery. He answered all of my questions and there were no complications with the surgery.

Are you scheduled for hip replacement surgery? When will you talk with your surgeon about your concerns about osteoporosis?
