Thanks, Chris, you for this info....seeing Boston endocrinologist soon and will have a lot of questions before starting any meds + get 2nd opinion + read recent info.
I have spinal osteoporosis + scoliosis, so will have lots of questions about exercise too. Are your “new” bones denser and less brittle or just denser? Do you have osteoporosis in your spine? Thanks, again. Lisa

Good afternoon @mslw. Before I forget.....here is a link to the discussion about how to prepare for an appointment with a specialist. I found it helpful and so do my medical providers.

My "new" bones have not been tested yet. I am entering month four of the Tymlos injections. That is a good question Lisa and I have added it to my list for my October 15 appointment.

I do not have scoliosis and the tests determined that there were no fractures in my spine...in spite of the osteoporosis. My exercise routine has changed in that I used to walk 2-3 miles a day and work out with a trainer. Now I do gentle yoga to include stretches and strength building poses. I also use 2 lb weights for my wrists and arms. That has made a huge difference in even the appearance of my arms and wrists....they have gone from just sticks to a more healthy form.

Just don't get carried away. I tried to move up to 4 lbs by holding two 2 lb weights in each hand. My shoulder complained vociferously
and I had to go back down to the 2 lbs.

Lisa, may you be safe and protected today. Chris
