Thanks for the update! CTX of 293 suggests your bone turnover is still modestly active, which is actually good if an anabolic therapy is being considered.

With your upcoming bunion surgery and brief immobility, starting an anabolic soon could help protect bone and likely build more bone mass. Another course of Evenity is a reasonable option, and a PTH analog could also be considered, imo, depending on timing and preference.

Thanks for sharing. Do you know if original Medicare will cover a second round of Evenity?
