Severe osteoporosis at 76: Is it too late for help?

See another Dr. I was diagnosed at age 77 . I completed a 1 yr. course of Evenity. I saw significant gains in spine after 4 fractures. Hip was a very small gain. I will progress to Prolia. I am seeing a Rheumatologist.

@wizdum Your situation is so similar to mine. I (age 76) have just finished 8th month/round of Evenity. My active lifestyle has not changed but am noticing increased leg pain, tingling, spasms, etc. Will be anxious to see results of bone density testing after 12 months of Evenity. Plan is to progress to Prolia. Doctor is dismissing any of my side-effects as normal aging and also from very low dosage (10 mg/daily) of Lipitor which I have taken for more than 8 years with no side effects. Maybe I should check in with a Rheumatologist? Thanks.
