@justdiagnosed I personally know nothing about strontium but I just googled it and came up with this article from American Bone Health. It does not sound as if strontium is a recommended option, the DEXA results are misleading.

@kilh It's a difficult decision on whether to try Tymlos again. Considering the side effects you had I would consult with the physician treating your osteoporosis and the physician who is your PCP and see what they think.
@dbmenger I'm sorry to hear you had such difficult side effects from Reclast. I know they can happen but it's an extremely small percentage of people who experience them. I assume you followed all of the prevention suggestions that should be done prior to the injection.
I am on Tymlos now but Reclast has been suggested as my follow-up drug so I am very interested in hearing about side effects.
