@findtheanswersdn,

A consecutive second year of Evenity https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7560921/).
Considering that you haven't had side effects, it might be worth pursuing with this or another endocrinologist.
The risk of afib with Reclast thought to be low. But even lower with Evenity.
I have heard of osteoporosis patients having success holding gains with Tymlos after Evenity. That sequence is one I'd rather see you take.
Guidelines are for taking an antiresorptive after Evenity. I'd consult with the present endocrinologist, before looking elsewhere.
Reclast could work out for you. I don't hear of many people escaping without some aches, but Evenity seems worse in the general aching department. If you do decide on Reclast,
be sure to make it a 4mg dose with an hour for infusion.
The spasms with Reclast can be caused by hypocalcemia. When bones break down they release calcium into the bloodstream. So any of the antiresorptives can cause muscle spasms.
Bone markers, especially CTX, should guide your course especially if you can secure a prescription for Tymlos.
I'm so happy that you have no pain with the fusion. Tymlos would advance that healing.
