Alvin, you may have fractured further because Evenity didn't have enough time to work. I keep hearing about people fracturing while on Evenity. Because of this were I in your situation I would forfeit further injections of Evenity I ask the doctor (endocrinologist?) to prescribe either Forteo or Tymlos. If I hadn't already I would check testosterone levels. I would also want the bone marker P1NP and in one month.
I'm not happy with the way Prolia or Evenity works. But I would take either, if there weren't better medications available.

Thank you for that valuable information.
I was not aware of P1NP testing.
I will request either Forteo or Tymlos as they seem to have the most positive results.
I have requested for the Dr to refer me to a Gastroentologist and Endrocrinologist as well.
Further more , I am going for a DEXA scan and to have my hormone levels tested as well before moving onto the next faze of medications.
Have you or anyone here heard of a REMS test? ( Risk Evaluation And Mitigation Strategy )
All the best to you
Alvin
