My doctor is recommending Forteo. I already had 2 femur fractures from Fosamax. I would love to hear some feedback about Forteo. Thank you.

Very sorry to hear about your fractures. I started on Forteo about 3 months ago as my last bone density test was worse than ever (spine -3.6 etc) I am 72 & Forteo was first recommended to me 16 yrs ago! An injection sounded ominous so I continued on oral drugs for 10 yrs always trying to do the right thing re: diet & exercise. So far I have had no negative side effects from the Forteo but it will a while before I know if it has been helpful. An endocrinologist at Mayo recommended Forteo a few months ago as did my internist for many yrs. I hope this helps. Take care. Linda
