Dear One, I am so sorry for all of your fracures and struggles. Something is very imbalanced to cause this prevasive weakness. I do hope you have been to geneticist who speciallizes in bone disseases. I recommend the complete genetics test ( i think 304 diseases ) bone dysplasia panel to assess if there is a genetic component . My tests did show a gentic componement but of unknown significance. I assume you have had a complete lab reveiw to elimiante tyroid issue, inflammation, gut disease etc. This also needs to be done.
To answer your question - my 7/8 foot fracture happend 3 months into my treatment with tymlos: I do not think the medication contributed to that fracture. Tylmos becomes more resportive ( dissolves bone/ cortical thinning) later in the treatment cycle. Many people are not effected but I was and cortical bone was reduced - ie foot weakness. I was on tymlos too long. Now Forteo is more aggressive than tymlos in its effect on cortical bone so I would question the doctors theory as to why you are on that Evenity is better with cortical bone building so that may be an option for you . Please read Great Bones by McCormick - it will help you understand and give hope.

@dmshope, Thanks for your suggestion about genetics. That is one thing I haven't checked into. I would consider Evenity, but with my sensitivities, I am afraid to take either Prolia or Reclast to hold in gains. I will be needing dental work in the future, which can't be done on those medications. I am hoping that estrogen will work for that. Let us know if you decide on a second course of Evenity. Feet are inportant!
