After suffering two stress fractures (in left fibula and right metatarsal) in two weeks' time for no reason at all, I had a DexaScan, which showed osteoporosis -- worst score -3.6 in upper spine. Before the fractures and diagnosis I thought nothing of twisting, lifting, reaching, etc., but now I'm nervous. Although I don't usually like to take medications, I will likely start on Forteo soon. How have others fared on Forteo? Have your activity and energy levels stayed pretty much the same? What about after Forteo? I don't have a good understanding of what caused the low numbers (except perhaps surgical menopause) so I want to spend the 2 years I'm on Forteo figuring out any nutritional or hormonal imbalances and setting up a plan for maintaining or improving bone health afterwards. Any experiences or advice you'd like to share is welcome. My city is short on support mechanisms.
