@windyshores I think you said a few of your fractures were from trauma. I hope they’ve all healed and that you’re doing okay. You sound like an incredibly strong person. I also hope the Evenity is working for you.

My traumatic fractures were 2006 @jmla. Thank you for your kind words.

My osteoporotic fractures were spring 2021. I did Femara, a cancer med, for 5 years that affected my bone density significantly.

Compression fractures in the spine can stabilize but they never really "heal." It is important for people to know that. I cannot lift much and have to be very careful how I move.

These fractures cause pain and disability, which is why I come on here to say that Tymlos took my spine from -3.7 to -2.5, severe to borderline, in 18 months.

I did up to 7/8 of the dose, and had never been on any other meds, which might have helped (I could not tolerate others and docs wanted to avoid Reclast at the time I did cancer treatment).
