Lori, I will be getting my 12th and final shot next month. Then, I will have to go on something else. I have an appointment already scheduled with the physician who had prescribed the Evenity before my last shot. I will have to get a dexa scan to see where my Osteo is at. I've already got my appt with the surgeon to review. I know that people are afraid to take some of these meds but I was one who had a Burst Compression Lumbar I Fracture along with injury to L1, L2, L3, L4, L5 and it's either S or T 12. My injury did not completely heal so surgery had been suggested. However, I found out that I had Osteoporosis. I slipped and fell in my bathroom but feel on my knees. I don't know how it broke my back? I don't wish this type of injuries on anyone. It has changed my life 100%. I can't stand over 4-5 minutes at a time and so I am homebound just about 100%.
