Osteoporosis and lower back pain

Wow, that would be great if it helps with healing. I wonder if the data on Tymlos is still evolving, and not all docs are informed?
I rushed these surgeries last December precisely so I could start Tymlos in January, when I switched my insurance to one that would cover the drug. But because my bone wasn't good enough (duh), I need to wait 3 months for the second surgeries.

@pamela1685 I would think that they would want you on Tymlos to strengthen bones. I am not sure dentists know that Forteo and Tymlos are different in this regard, from other meds that do actually have a risk for jaw necrosis. It's not new information!
https://www.ada.org/resources/ada-library/oral-health-topics/osteoporosis-medications This article only mentions anti-resorptives as risky for jaw necrosis: bisphosphonates, Prolia and Evenity. Online I cannot find any reference to Tymlos causing this. Jaw necrosis is "rare" even with the anti-resorptives so maybe that word "rare" the dentist used was referring to anti-resoprtives.
Maybe you can ask the dentist to research or talk to your endo.
