Hi Chris,
I fell because of the ice hidden beneath snow. As I placed my foot on the curb, it slid onto the parking lot and I fell forward. I'm 79 and realize balance is an issue, but so far so good. Thanks for the suggestion. I said I believe Tymlos is the reason, because they state it as one of the side effects! I googled it. No one can determine it positively, but I haven't had one since I stopped either. Everyone has different reactions to all these treatments. I don't usually get side effects from meds. Now I am having this side effect of leg pain from Reclast. Maybe it has to do with age. I don't know. I just finished Evenity, and my Dexa scan showed that my bone density has gotten worse. My doctor said the fall was a perfect stress test and since I didn't break any bones, I should not worry so much.
I have 2 hip replacements so they cannot use my hips for Dexa. Perhaps that has something to do with my terrible score. -4.9 From now on, I plan to eat right, exercise regularly and specifically for osteoporosis, take vitamins, and hope for the best. I am not a fan of these meds. they say if you do Prolia it's hard to stop. I have a new endocrinologist who answers all my questions and explains things, so he might change my mind. there is another machine that measures the structure of your bones. I hope to be able to get that done one day.
Thanks for your good wishes. I hope your treatments are more successful than they were for me.
Merle
