Thanks for your response My doctor is checking with my insurance and hoping to start Forteo as soon as approved. I too took Fosamax for five years but with no success. I did not have any side effects but when I started having femur pain It was recommended that I stop. I’ve refused recommendations of Prolia for years, but spinal compression fractures are convincing me to do something. I am extremely worried about the side effects from Forteo, but Hearing that you had no side effects helps So thanks again for sharing.
