There are no symptoms with osteoporosis- until you fracture. I was doing sword tai chi before I fractured!

Forteo and Tymlos work with the parathyroid pathway and have nothing to do with estradiol.

Evenity is a sclerostin inhibitor. Sclerostin suppresses bone formation. It is both a bone-builder and an anti-resorptive, though anti-resorptive to a lesser degree than Prolia or bisphosphonates.

DEXA's usually do lumbar spine, femur and femur neck, sometimes both sides, sometimes just one side.

Glad you are going to an endocrinologist!

ps the problem with Prolia is that once stopped bone density plummets and fracture risk goes up, I have been told.
