@catluvr999 I believe Tymlos and Forteo do not affect resorption but Evenity does, though to a lesser degree than biphosponates and Prolia. You can double check with a doctor or pharmacist. I have been told that Tymlos and Forteo improve bone quality even if density does not significantly improve.

Hi. Thanks. I called a pharmacist, but she didn't seem to even absorb my question. I asked "Is there a medication that just builds bone, without *also* preventing resorption? I am thinking I want a med that's like what Restasis does for tears, producing tears, except for bone....and not have the anti-resorption aspect. (The anti-resorption, I am afraid, is what might cause the extreme fractures -- "atypical femoral fractures" described starting at spot 10:35 in the Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MripZTWMBQ). The pharmacist replied: "I don't think there's a medication that make your bones reproduce to the point where ... <she didn't finish her thought>... but there are medications that can make your bones healthy, and that's why they ask you to take calcium and vitamin D." Her reply was just a rambling mess; seemed medications wasn't her wheelhouse.
PS -- Seems my first link in my main post above was right, and I haven't been able to locate the right link, sorry.
