@gravity3 who is McCormick and where is his material. I would like to read. My endo mayo did not sequence me correctly before my fusion l4l5 with cage screws and rods. Didn't tell me anything about evenity or teripartide etc how to sequence correctly or that teripartide was first line for fusions because it was 2 year therapy bone builder and would carried me to surgery and then 1 year after. Now im 7 mo out, 70 years old female with SEVERLY ADVANCED VERTEBRAL DEGENERATING VERTEBRAE WHO HAD GRADE 2 SPONDY L4L5 AND MRI SAUD SLIGHT SLIP STARTING AT L1 ON L2 L2 ON L3 L3 ON L4 AND REG XRAY FROM MY HOMETOWN SAID SLIGHT L5 SLIP ONTO S1 SO I AM N LITERALLY SCREWED AND SO SCARED NO BONE BUILDER NOW IN. RITICAL TIME OF HEALING FUSION SO IT BRIDGES MY OWN STRONG BONE TO FUSE TO THE CAGE INSUDE MY DISC. IM TERRIFIED . HE SHOULD TOLD ME ALL ABOUT THE BORH DRUGS TOLD ME NOTHING.

TOO RISKY THE 40 PERCENT WHO SAID TO GET REAL LIFE SUDE EFFECTS SOME DONT GO AWAY 20 TO 30 PERCENT. I NEED TERIPARTIDE NOW OR MY FUSION WILL FAIL. OR SCREWS BREAK.

ONE BUIKDER SO THEY DONT GET AND STAY SOFT AND END SPONDY AND MORE FUSION. AT 70 I DONT HAVE MUCH LIFE LEFT I WANT TO GOOD QUALITY. EVENITY IS JUST ANTIRESORPTIVE LAST 8 MONTHS SO NO DIFFERENT IF I WERE ON FOSAMAX . MONTHS THEN WANTED TERIPARTIDE TO BUILD BONE.
