Thousand Oaks, CA

I have several compression fractures that have been fixed with Kyphoplasty. I want the best bone help I can get. I take Tymlos/Forteo pharmaceutical grade calcium, vitamin D & k. I really want to take Strontium, but the Tymlos people say I should not. I really need to know if that is true? Thank you!

Members discussed whether strontium supplements can be safely taken alongside Tymlos, with several cautioning about potential interactions with newer medications and urging the original poster to consult their doctor or pharmacist before combining treatments. Several members shared their own approaches to bone health, including one who stopped Tymlos due to severe back pain and spasms and switched to Algaecal supplements, another who takes Ostelin Cal-DK2 Calcium with some relief, and others focusing on diet and exercise. A recurring theme was the importance of professional medical guidance when combining medications or supplements, especially with newer bone-building drugs where interactions are not yet fully understood.

I was on tymlos for about 3 months I noticed severe lower back pain after I gave myself the shot, and my lower back would spasm, so I took myself off of it and now I am doing the algeacal supplements, hoping that all this helps....

@A MyOsteoTeam Member I definitely think that you need to ask your doctor or at least ask the chemist at your pharmacy before you take a new medication
