Reduced low back pain

I am sorry you have headaches and neck pain (all from the drug Evenity?) I am learning quite a lot since joining this group. My endocrinologist has suggested Tymlos, Forteo or Evenity.
So far, I just cannot bring myself to agree! The side effects I have read about are far too awful to give in without at least trying to improve my numbers with diet, exercise and supplements.
I have not had a broken bone that I am aware of, except for losing an inch of height. My dexa scan has really low T-scores, the worst is my left hip at -4.10
I have osteoarthritis in both hips and will need hip replacement surgery, but I want to be sure the surgeon I choose is ready to deal with such low bone density, or what they suggest (I have a consultation in July) In the meantime, I keep reading everyone's posts and try to stay positive!

@magicwoo Hi, I have been on Tymlos for 18 months with minimal side effects. I am not sure if it is the Tymlos but I seem to get tired a bit more easily and I’m a little fuller around the belly. But I just had my first dexa scan since starting Tymlos. My left hip went from -3.2 to 2.8 and my right hip from -2.8 to -2.0. I am pretty happy with these results and will continue on Tymlos through 24 months. Btw, I started low and titrated up on Tymlos but stopped at 7 clicks.
