@brendammc Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
What does your doctor recommend? Are you seeing your primary care physician or endocrinologist or rheumatologist for osteoporosis? I see an endocrinologist who prescribed 12 months of Evenity injections (monthly) and then a Reclast infusion. The Evenity was to build bone density and my bone density scan showed significant gains in my hip and lower back. I had no side effects other than a little soreness at the injection site. The Reclast infusion was meant to "lock in" the gains in bone density. I did not have any side effects from the Reclast infusion.

Update to my last reply.
Can you tell me why you went on Evenity cp to an anabolic? Evenity had not been mentioned in the latest Canadian Osteo update. I’ll have to look into that more.

So far primary doctor who has prescribed Auro-Alendrondate. Have been referred re seeing an Osteoporosis specialist of some kind. Until then I will go ahead with the prescription and see how I react. I know guidelines say I should go to Anabolic therapy. So had wondered if either drugs were better for the spine.
I’ve done a lot of research and know that a knowledgeable specialist is important re testing etc.
Very happy to have found this wonderful community. Thanks to all.
