@normahorn Yes to contact with Cardiologist. I'm waiting for response to my inquiry in Portal. I have researched other OP meds. Three options I would consider: Tymolos, FOrteo, Prolia. All have side effects that are also of concern and having to take drugs the rest of my life. Weighing: potential fractures with drug therapy and the hopeful healing of said fracture(s) without. What a difficult decision we all make.
