@cmael I am in the exact same position as you. It never occurred to me that my endocrinologist would have a role in this, what involvement does he have? I see him in September and my PCP in October so should I be speaking to my endo about this?
Thanks.

@cmael I just happened across your post, if that’s ok. If you are taking any steroids or anti rejection meds, you’ll want to get a baseline bone scan just so you know the health of you bones (especially before winter and snow comes along)! Your primary doctor can order it. Depending on the outcome, you should see an endocrinologist. I had a bone scan last summer and I just thought it was routine. Silly me! The prednisone I was on had done a real number on my pelvis and wrists (where they measure density). So now I’m on weekly Fosamax, which has caused no problems. 😊. Don’t wait til next year!

I have severe osteoporosis. I have been on Tymlos, prolia, and now evenity. There are side affects, but it is the only thing that has helped me to gain bone density. I switch drugs every 2 years. I tried the natural approach and I kept losing bone density. Every drug has side effects unfortunately. My endocrinologist tries to stick with the tried and true drugs, so I am happy with it.
I just fell recently and did not break a bone, I attribute that to my bone medicine
