Compression fracture in my back

I had Xgeva first, then Prolia and now am about 6 months into my Evenity. I have 12 fractured vertebrae in my spine, broken ribs, broken toe/ foot section. I would caution one thing for sure with any of these drug choices. If you have any dental work done, you need to time it so it isn't done 3 months before or 3 months after getting your shot. You will be at risk of having necrotic jaw disease. If you end up with that, you could easily die or at the very least end up having your entire jaw removed.

I don’t think Tymlos or Forteo have this risk of jaw necrosis

Thank you for that. I was aware of the dental work being an issue while on Evenity.
I will be getting a several tests done before moving onto any other drugs.
I am not opposed to trying something new like Forteo or Tymlos.
I do need to find a new Endocrinologist as the one I'm seeing currently dismisses all my questions in regards to the tests and only wants to get me straight onto more medication instead of possibly finding out what is causing the breaks.
I have another option that I will consider in the very near future , my wife's sister is a Dr in Central America and I can have all my testing done in matter of days if I don't get results here from my upcoming appointments this next week.
Thank you for your time and I wish you all the best.
