My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis

Forgot where I saw them because I have look on so many sites. I did notice
this week that Evenity changed its advertising saying 70 per cent see a positive gain in their spine
OP, I did see some gain there, but in the same article 60 per cent had no gain in the hips. (Of course they don’t advertise that.) I just don’t want others to expect as I did that this is the answer for hip OP new bone building. I expected that Evenity would help all bones equally, and it doesn’t . Doctors need to know this, but who is going to tell them? Certainly not the drug manufacturers.

Doctors know the difference between trabecular and cortical bone (see below). My doc told me progress was going to be better with spine than hips, with Tymlos in my case.

excerpt:
The vertebral body is the classical trabecular bone site, and vertebral compression fractures are the hallmark of osteoporosis. However, the thin cortical shell plays a substantial role.
The hip is considered a cortical bone site, but both cortical and trabecular bone contribute to femoral strength, the contribution of the cortical bone being higher in femurs with lower trabecular bone density [2]. Furthermore, the cortical bone supports bending in the distal region of the femoral neck and the trabecular bone supports the proximal load.
