@chiefsmom I don’t have an appointment with a rheumatologist, but I will see an orthopedic doctor in December (for left hip and low back pain) and then an endocrinologist the week after that. I’d like an orthopedic doctors opinion on all of this. My mom had a hip replacement in her early 70’s, and I’m expecting I will need one. I’ve researched Medicare prescription plans and none of them cover Prolia or Evenity. I would have to find a doctor that orders the med and administers the shot in their office. My primary care said usually patients get the prescription at a pharmacy and bring it to the office. These meds cost $2100/year through part D. Can’t commit to that. I might wait until my next DEXA scan, eat healthy, exercise and use OTC supplements. If my numbers are the same next fall, maybe I can wait this out some more. These meds might be nice if you can afford them.
