@jenniferhunter
I was told by the ortho surgeon's office that the best time for surgery with Evenity treatment is between 6-9 months after the treatment starts (I will have my 9th treatment next week). The full treatment is considered as 12 monthly doses. After the treatment, I am suppose to be on medicine such as Prolia to maintain for the rest of my life.
Although I believe the ortho surgeon would do a good job fixing my issues. I really like him and his staffs as I have much more contacts with them since Aug. of 2021. He was very detail oriented. He was instrumental for me getting the bone treatment (I was denied treatment several times by my insurance due to the cost of the medicine...) I am very thankful towards him. But currently, I am leaning towards the neurosurgeon, mainly because it is a smidgen conservative. The neurosurgeon did say his approach is similar and is also just as complicated. But I need to take every minute saving.
Thank you @jenniferhunter.
