Younger than usual with severe osteoporosis

Good evening @hopefullibrarian, I couldn't pass by your comment about Tymlos. And so, I will just share that I completed two years of Tymlos in 2021 without any side effects or problems. My DEXA scores have improved and I am now keeping everything happy with a weekly alendronate pill which has locked in the results. The other one to look at for building bone is Evenity. It is the newest injection option and has a reputation for being the fastest bone builder. It also has some ability to protect the newly created bone.
Good luck with your research. Don't hesitate to make inquiries as you move along.
Chris

Good day,
I have been reading others posts, and see similar things with my medical issues. I suffered 5 compressed disks at once, with a bulging disks effect. I also suffered multiple rib fractures due to the nerves being pinched and causing my muscles to crush my own ribcage.
This started in April- peaked in early June. I was offered and excepted Evenity injections. I should have mentioned L8-L12 were the disk compressed m, I also suffer L1-L5 Osteoporosis before the compressed disks. I think I was healing from the rib pain and didn't notice much impact from Evenity.
I do want everyone to know, I was also given a prescription of Topiramate for the last 8 years. After digging I read 'What causes Osteoporosis? " One cause of Osteoporosis is Epilepsy drugs. On a drug interactions page for Topiramate clearly says Topiramate will cause Osteoporosis.
Possibly this was my issue for developing extreme Osteoporosis, as diagnosed by my doctor. My condition was not from a fall or accident. I just woke up one day with a pain in the center of my back that increased to finally stopping at 5 disks.
The Topiramate was for Neuropathy pain from Stenosis in my neck.
I am trying hot yoga and feel severe pain with part/ most of the moves. The instructor feels I will overcome the pain. I have always been active and now I can't sleep Sue to a pain in my ribcage lasting over 6 months.

Oops.....I almost forgot to share another feature of Tymlos that can be very helpful. The injection needle has several levels so that you can start at an easy level of 2 or 3 and work up to 7 or 8. @windyshores may be able to explain the "clicks" and their meaning better than I can. It wasn't available when I was on the medication.
Good night again.
Chris
