I've read through many of the comments. Thank you for this important discussion. I've been on prolonged injections twice per year foe 8 years. I addressed my desire to get off the injections with my endocrinologist a year ago and was told I'd have to be on them for the rest of my life. When I started the injections, I was told that research showed there was new bone growth and I'd need to be on it for ten years. I feel very deceived. I trusted him because he was a researcher with NASA on bone density. I'm at a loss at where I should turn for guidance. What should I look for in a Dr. that can guide me. All of my T-scores are now normal or are close to normal. I've had multiple fractures throughout my life, especially over the last 20 years. Ive had a couple of very bad fractures in the past 10 years. If anyone can offer some pointers, I'd greatly appreciate it.
