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
