Hyperparathyroidism caused osteoporosis--now what treatment?

As of this writing, I have not met with an endocrinologist. I am scheduled to meet with this specialist mid April 2024.
Did you ask your Internist if he/she could see all 4 glands? Who read the scan? How old is the scanning machine that did the scan? These are fair and important questions. Some doctors do not like being X-examined and that's a problem for them not you. You R UR own best advocate.
Did you watch the Youtube.com video I mentioned? If so, ask your physician if he/she has seen it. If the physician seems disinterested & you have a PPO that allows you to make an appointment with an endocrinologist, then do it for your own peace of mind.
Be sure to check in with your insurance to make sure they allow a second opinion, & that U can make the appt with the endocrinologist. If your insurance carrier wants to know why, then tell them.
I am not afraid to buck anyone whose responses are concerning.

I am going to ask for a referral to an ENT in my area, when I see my doctor in a couple days. Unfortunately, my PCP is not very proactive to getting me help and researching my options. Much of this has been a on foot journey myself, because, when he did the scans of various organs, the radiologist said it was normal, however, my labs show a completely different journey. I have had multiple labs that continue to get worse, so with recently utilizing these forums, I get a lot if information, more information than I get with my Internist. I need the information, as, all these things are putting a puzzle together of my situation, and I dont have all the pieces, but I am getting there thanks to the people on here. 🙏
