3986,
I noticed your reply to @nlback22 mentioned taking bone building medication prior to surgery. Do you mind sharing if this was recommended by your spince specialist prior to scheduling surgery? What medication is being prescribed? I received a similar recomendation from a neurosurgeon that recommended corrective spine surgery to address scoliosis in my spine, but he is slowing the process down until I go on a medical treatment plan.
I would love to hear what you doctor has told you.

Hello,
I will definitely get back to you once the doctor finds out what the insurance is willing to cover. Hopefully they do for there’s way I could afford a treatment of either drugs that they recommend.
Take care🙏🙏

Hello,
I was seen by a Neurosurgeon that specializes in Deformity Spine Surgery. And because of my low bone density scores he recommended
me be seen by a Endocrinologist. These are the drugs that were recommended (romosozumab and romosozumab. It would be a year regrettably before a surgery would be performed. The costs are out of the world, so it will be decided if I could afford one of them. And my window to afford one of them is pretty small. The Doctor will be submitting the request to the insurance company. Keep in touch…Take care
