I recently started Tymlos after a fractured L5. I was originally diagnosed with osteoporosis in Feb 2021. I was 47 then, I am now 50 years of age. My spine T score is a -4.2. Prior to my fracture, I did a lot of walking & some jogging and prior to L5 fracture my hip scores had actually improved while my spine density had worsened. Now I am trying the Tymlos and praying that the compression fracture is healing and not worsening. Honestly I think I was initially in denial in regards to how bad my bones were - considering my age and activities, etc. I've always been rather athletic and now can't do the activities I use to love so. I was initially fearful of the Tymlos, and I am still working through the side effects as I have only been on it a little over a month. There use to be a well known Osteoporosis dr in my town - a Dr. Recknor; however he retired before my diagnosis. I am really fearful of my overall longterm prognosis given the early age of my diagnosis.
