From 2022/2024, my dual femur scores improved from -2.5 to -2.1 and my lumbar spine from -2.9 to -1.0. Note that the most recent scores were done on a different machine than the 2022 scans, but I use the -1.0 spine as a current and true value.

My rheumatologist also mentioned something about the lumbar score perhaps being positively affected by three compression fractures as the bone is “reinforced” during the healing process. It doesn’t matter to me the how or why, just that it is. Who knew?

Finally, I’m unsure if Tymlos or Evenity worked for me in providing the better scores - I used Tymlos for about 9-1/2 months, and Evenity for the full 12 months. I’ve chronicled my severe and debilitating reactions to Tymlos and the ease of Evenity previously.

Wishing everyone a safe and joyful holiday season. Tread carefully and mind the slippery conditions Old Man Winter brings with him. Cheers, all!
