Do you have calcium lumps with Forteo?

I’ve been on Forteo since December 2023.

Tonight I have pain in my right fourth toe. There’s a hard lump just below the nail bed.
My toe is throbbing.

Have you experienced lumps of calcium when taking Forteo?

teb, these small lumps, deposits of calcium are listed as a possible side effect of Forteo. You might not notice if it weren't under the nail. It could, though, be something else. You might get it checked by a podiatrist.

The lump was not under the nail. It was at the base of the nailbed.

I use Tirosint. It's pure of allergens but requires a note of necessity from your doctor. You can get it for $25 a month with a manufacturers coupon (unless you are on Medicare). Several of my doctors, both allopathic and naturopath, did not recommend the dessicated thyroid hormones like nature-throid because they contain additional hormones that are not found in the human body. There have also been recalls on these products as they were sometimes found to have sub-par levels of hormones. I was on them initially and found that I needed higher and higher doses. When my doctors suggested I go off them, I thought it was a good idea and switched to Tirosint and have been on that for many years with no issues.
