Forteo - Has Anyone Been On It? Does Insurance Cover Most Of It?

How is it to give yourself an injection every day? What are the side effects?

A MyOsteoTeam Member

Forteo was covered by insurance. Be aware it is not a cure. My osteoporosis came back.

What Form Of Exercise Can I Take
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I'm afraid of doing anything except walking and swimming for fear of hurting myself, but I get bored with these. My osteoporosis is mild in my spine and moderate in my hips. I've had two crush fractures. My back can be extremely painful. I've tried Pilates and yoga, but some of the excersises really hurt my upper back, so I end up not doing anything! I used to love cycling, but I've lost all my confidence and can't balance anymore as I'm so scared of falling off.

Fosamax: What Have Your Experiences With This Drug Been? Positive Or Negative?
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

My mother took Fosamax for over 8 years and still broke her hip. I have friends who have tried the shots and still broken bones. What have you found the most effective treatment for osteoporosis? I am also trying the exercise program by Margaret Martin. I already exercise daily and this helps me focus on a program particular to osteoporosis; including tips on what not to do. I have also heard that your diet is also a factor? Has anyone found this to be true? Thanks so much.

Does Prolia Have The Side Effect Of Edema? Would Anyone Happen To Have Any Information On Side Effects? Thank You,
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

I have been on Prolia for two years; I have edema in my lower legs and feet. I feel it is from Prolia; I just went to a new doctor, and she said no one has ever reported that. As I was leaving, she told me to find that information. So, I am contacting anyone with information on that side effect.
