@cincy- Hello. I'm thinking of starting a medication for Osteoporosis, but I'm on the line about it. I broke my back last year and am still recovering. I know what back pain feels like and before the dr. put me on a muscle relaxer I was writhing on my bed. It was like someone was squeezing my back muscles as tight as could be. And this pain came in waves. Outside of labor this is the most awful pain the I have ever had.

Can you describe your pain, please? Was it sharp, burning, stabbing, shooting, etc...

Thank you,
Merry

@merpreb Merry, I have received injections in the back of my arms (1 injection in each arm) and in the abdomen. The nurse allows the medication to “warm” a little before injection. The needle is very thin and tiny and reminds me of the allergy shots I received subcutaneously many years ago. For me, there was no pain, not even a burning sensation, in my arms or abdomen. I switched to the abdomen more out of curiosity. I did not experience any injection pain afterwards. But that’s me.

I unknowingly fractured my sacrum last year. In retrospect I realize that the pain I experienced in one leg and then the other for over a month was related to that sacral fracture. I’ll take the joint pain I’m experiencing over another fracture. I already have joint pain from osteoarthritis and so as long as I can keep doing the things I do and like to do, I’ll stretch, do yoga, and go to the gym.

What other medications are being considered?
