Hi@reneeksmith,
Yes this was my first diagnosis with scoliosis. My ob/gyn does a Dexa scan every two years. The previous scan had no indication of scoliosis. She showed me the different measurements of the most recent scan with that of the previous. Noted that I am edging into the osteopenia range from the normal range. Suggested I research fosemax and then told me to talk to my primary about scoliosis. Showed me how my spine was twisting to the left. No other suggestions. The little reading I have done on fosemax, Boniva and even prolia show pretty awful side effects. I think fosemax was even taken off the market for a while but there was nothing safer marketed so they(FDA?) allowed it back on market. That doesn’t instill confidence for me. From my reading and understanding, fosemax doesn’t really build bone; it only builds around it. I guess as a support but once you stop taking it the risk of breakage at that point is even greater because of the fosemax. I am not a medical person and my understanding of this may not be correct but it seems that more research and better options from big pharmacy is needed. I am so sorry things went so fast for you. I would like to hear more of your journey if you want to share. Next week I will see my primary. I am also considering OsteoStrong. I have a friend who is going there and she feels like it is helping her.
