@auntieoakley, my best advice. Don’t fall. If you do fall, grab your shoulders and roll. Protect wrists and hips until you find out the results of the tests. My PCP requested the dexascan for hips and wrists. After 4 months of torturous bone pain reactions from Boniva, she sent me to an endocrinologist because other comparable medications contain the same ingredients. She requested spine, vertebrae, images to see if I had any fractures. I didn’t...just weak and thin. Doesn’t mean I won’t have them if I don’t strengthen and rebuild bone density.

Of the two medications that actually build bone, I chose Tymlos.

And so, I probably had to wait 6 months. I was SO careful. My mother broke her hip and died within a year. I am now getting ready to pick up another pen. The injections are daily for 18 months and once opened the product does not have to be refrigerated.

May you be free of pain and fractures and falls. Check in so I can follow the developments and your story. It can be shared so that others benefit from your experiences. Be free of discomfort today. Chris
