In 2021 after a Dexa showed severe op my rheumatologist ordered Prolia. I didn’t have much choice as I had been on Fosamax for years followed by 5 years of Reclast. I was desperate and went along with the plan. Within the 2 years of Prolia I had a femur fx followed by a spontaneous tibia/ankle fx and patella fx. The orthopedic doctor referred me to an op specialist. I started on Tymlos in June. He did order bone marker tests which were low. That doctor was in Phoenix and has now suddenly retired. I’m here in Chicago (my home) and my rheumatologist seems reluctant to continue treating my op. I have an appointment with an endocrinologist in a month. I want someone to order bone marker tests to see how effective the Tymlos has been after 6 months. It’s so frustrating fighting with doctors and the whole system. Am keeping fingers crossed for the endocrinologist appointment.

Good luck to everyone in finding a doctor who will appropriately treat the op.
