I don't know about never again. I believe after several years you could get it again.

@cman55 My endocrinologist told me to avoid all steroid injections with my osteoporosis, as they weaken bones. When approaching back surgery, bones need to be strong enough or the screws will not hold. I also need a shoulder replacement and the surgeon told me it would not "take" due to my severe osteoporosis. (two years of Forteo injections improved my osteoporosis to osteopenia in my spine and I am now taking a year of Evenity injections to see if my hips will improve.)
