Severe osteoporosis plus severe lumbar spinal stenosis

Good evening @ingridbergman. Congratulations on selecting Evenity. It is the newest bone builder for those of us who encounter osteoporosis. In fact, it not only creates bone but also protects it. If I understand your inquiry, it is about a concern that you might have to face surgery. May I ask why you are unable to handle a surgical intervention? In order to cut to the chase, I am going to introduce you to @jenniferhunter. She is a walking encyclopedia about spinal stenosis and will understand your issues much better than I can. So.... give her some time and she will be here to respond to you.
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris

Thank you for your response Chris.
I am concerned that if I get steroid epidurals for lumbar stenosis my osteoporosis will get worse from the steroids. My osteoporosis is very bad. [T scores -3.8]. I think I am way too old for lumbar stenosis surgery. [almost 90].
The question is what to do if I don't get epidual steroids. I have been on osteoporosis meds about 9 years. PT never helped me much. I will look for Jennifer Hunter's notes. thanks again.

Hello Chris,
I was wondering if you have also been on Evenity. I am trying to decide between that and one of the daily injectables.
Just curious as to what you have experienced. I have a jaw issue I am working out and then it’s on to some meds.
