Forteo vs. Tymlos: Which did you choose?

I had a similar experience....I tripped on a rug and broke my femur about a year ago and had a rod put in. I have always had pain where the break is but the doctor says it is healing. I have a screw sticking out into my muscle and he says that is what is causing the pain but it is designed that way also the injured leg is over 1/2 inch shorter so I have to have a lift in my shoe. The last time I was back to him he said he wants to do a hip replacement in the same leg and I am resisting it. Before I broke my leg I was running through the sprinklers with my grandkids and the x-rays show just moderate arthritis in my hip. I think they are trying to cover up something. My question to you is why you haven't sued them?

Well which person should I have sued? I do have a suit against the outdoor shopping area where the walk was broken.But Tennessee has a very stringent test for how bad the sidewalk has to be broken and or what level of negligence occurred to allow the sidewalk to be in disrepair. Now, they will try to get out of it because of the second break. All I know is it’s been over a year, I was fine when I walked to the restaurant, had never fallen in my adult life and they’re still fighting just paying my medical bills ...let alone all the pain and suffering from the broken femur, cracked hip and pelvis and the IM Nailing exchange surgery. I was an independent 3-5 mile a day walker and now I am lucky to go to the store alone! It’s such an ugly business of blaming the victim! In fact the manager of the mall inadvertently told the intern my attorney sent
( he thought it was his insurance company rep) to take pictures, that my two friends and I were drinking in the bar in the corner for three hours and we were drunk. I don’t drink, we had been in town less than 2 hours and I had 3 conversations with the office staff at our resort just 30 minutes prior to the fall....Fully sober! Thanks for letting me vent!
