My consultant is urging me to go on to Teriparatide (Forteo) because of -3.6 T score with DXA and I had an adverse reaction to Prolia (denosumab) which has caused necrosis of the jaw. I'm reluctant to go on to Teriparatide partly because it seems I'll be taking another drug to resolve the issues with the first one, so I had a REMS scan last week. It is just another machine and all results need to be read cautiously, but the results suggest that my bone quality is quite good. I have the wrist strength of an above average man ( am female). My spine is 20% better than the average person of my age (70) and hips 17% better. Less than 5% risk of bone fracture. What to make of it all? I'll take all the results to another bone doctor, this one female who doesn't have posters promoting Prolia on all walls of the office, and get a second opinion.
