Members discussed experiences with Forteo treatment for osteoporosis in the spine and hips, with one member sharing that it initially helped their husband until he developed severe side effects including choking and vomiting that forced him to stop. The conversation briefly expanded to alternative approaches, with one member mentioning bio-density machines as a potential tool for strengthening bones and another exploring exercise programs through physical therapist Sara Meeks and the Save Our Bones site. A recurring theme was the search for effective osteoporosis treatments while navigating the reality that what works for one person may cause serious problems for another.
