@jimmy05 I was 64. My T-score was -3.3 at first, then improved a tiny bit to -3.0 with better nutrition - but one part of my spine was still -3.3 or something like that.

Then I went on Tymlos, which is a daily injection for a maximum of two years. My T-score after nine months went to -2.0, which is osteopenia. I'm now 18 months in, so it's probably even better now. My next DEXA is in January.

I should add that I had no symptoms. I'm a runner. One day I came home, bent over to pick up something, and felt a sharp pain in my back. I thought I wrenched something. It was actually a compression fracture. I was shocked when I found out.

I am not able to locate my T score in my notes! I was 66 when first diagnosed with osteoporosis; to which I really had no knowledge about so I went a year without much thought. A year late at a follow up appointment with my endocrinologist he explained that I really needed to get an infusion of Reclast to help strengthen my bones. I again really knew nothing about this so I agreed to the infusion. For a few days I had flu like symptoms and then both shoulders, left foot started hurting and created extremely painful pain along with feeling fatigue and nausea. As time, 16 months has gone by the extreme pain has lessen some but my arms remain feeling extremely weak and sore. I did meet with the endocrinologist pharmacist who shared that the Reclast infusion works for about 18 months; in hopes that within the next two months this stops! I find the more I use my arms throughout the day the less the pain is until I wake. There are times that the pain wakes me up a few times throughout the night. I’m told I require additional treatment but have declined thus far. I do go to physical therapy biweekly and try hard to stay busy and often try to use my arms and foot to extreme in hopes that this pain goes away. I am 68 years old, retired a little over two years ago and thus far have not really got to enjoy much with this constant pain! The only fracture in recent years in my index finger, I was trying to tie my shoe and my finger just snapped forward at the first joint. I tipped it back, put it into a splint and left it until it stopped hurting. I have seen so many people have different symptoms following this infusion; a lot with no side effects and others with great difficulty. My endocrinologist suggested I see my Rheumatologist, which I did, she had X-rays and blood work, waiting for a consult with her to hear her thoughts; my endocrinologist would like for me to receive another infusion; I’m in no hurry!
