@cloud60 bones are not more brittle from Tymlos. Bones become more brittle over time with anti-resorptives like bisphosphonates (Reclast, Fosamax etc.) and Prolia, and to a lesser extent Evenity (in the last months). Tymlos and Forteo build quality bone, my doc has said.

My doc (Dr. Mc) said Tymlos speeds up both processes of bone-building, both the resorption and the building, so that the first few months on Tymlos the resorptive process would increase, making the bones more susceptible to fracture. I was more careful with my activities the first three months. I am in my 7th month now, so have confidence that I am past that vulnerable time.

My specialty pharmacy said Tymlos make bones more brittle. They had to by law read an explanation of the drug from the Tymlos company to me. I heard all anabolics and all bisphosphonates make the bones more brittle but less prone to fragility fractures. So if you have an accident and break a bone it can be harder to heal and some people say you may never heal.
Basically we can’t break a bone from an accident now.
