I am only providing you with what Wake Baptist Medical Center told me at the time. Yes, not all bones are that fragile. However, depending on whether it is a hip bone or area that is equally serious, that is when falling is dangerous. The doctor explained that a hip with a -6.2, should a fall occur, is life threatening and is considered more dangerous than a -3.4 T scroe of the spine. I was shown a model of osteoporosis bones with a lower T score and told that my bones were "paper" thin. That is why the doctor stated, should I fall on my hip, my bones could snap.

Your spine score of -3.4 is still considered serious and that is why you were prescribed Tymlos.

The first time I had an injection, I had a bad reaction. The doctor postponed my treatment for a month. The I was advised to take the shot every other day for three months. After that time, I was able to tolerate the drug for 18 months before side effects forced me to stop. It was enough time to build a lot of bone. Then I started on Prolea. Although it is not an easy journey, as my doctor said, given the alternative, it is worth taking.

I wish you the only the best results taking the Tymlos treatment.

Thank you. I do sometimes wonder whether the doctors are just being overly cautious which is good but not when the cure is worse than the problem.
