I took Forteo for 2 years and then Reclast for 2 years now I'm worse and in alot more pain. I don't recommend these meds at all. I'm going to quit taking them and try natural supplements with herbs and vitamins. I also have had fusions. I now have screws and rods from my S-1 up to my C-2 and I'm in a wheelchair and cannot walk I'm transfered by a lift and the PT won't help me to walk because I have severe osteoporosis 2.4 found on my dexa scan last November. Before I only had it in my spine now in my hips.
