I took Forteo for 10 months. and i can barely walk. i took Tymlos for the first 6 months and was fine, and then Forteo for 10 months. my strength is gone, my feet hurt wearing shoes, i have stomach pain when exercising, and ave thigh muscle cramps, neck pain, and can't sleep. I had confusion when driving, so i told my doctor i'm done with this. I know where i'm going these days, but I now use a walker around the house, elastic knee braces to walk on my own.
i have learned how to eat better, exercise as good as i can with breathing problems and tolerate the pain of bone and muscle headaches hair thining and hair loss and hair growing out of the end of my nose ! i learned to go with the flow.. if you hurt curl up and take a nap. lighten the amount that you eat and eat more times a day. eat ll the fresh veggies you can and fruit. pay attention to the blood and calcuim if high follow the proticols in place.
I have severe osteoporosis and am trying to take Forteo. I started out with half dose and have worked up to a full dose. The full dose 2 days in a row was disabling. My doctor suggested every other day. So I let the previous trial work its way out of my system for 5 days and tried another full dose. This is three days after the dose and I am weaker each day. I move in slow motion. My doctor is puzzled. Anyone had a similar experience?
My 20 year son has severe chronic bone pain, osteoporosis and has had multiple fractures. We have also had bone biopsy with showed a mineralization defect(focal osteomalacia) and high turn bone turnover but these do not lend themselves to a diagnosis. His blood levels of calcium and vit D are normal. He received a Pamidronate infusion in October 2004 and that is when the pain began. He was completely debilitated at that time as he is now.
I have worked with this site for many years assisting people to get the medicines that they need. You should check and see if you qualify for the Forteo assistance program: http://www.needymeds.org/drug_list.taf?_function=name&name=Forteo
Good luck! I am a breast cancer patient in a drug study taking the osteoporosis drug, Zometa. There is some promising data that suggests osteoporosis drugs may help prevent breast cancer patients having recurrances of cancer as bone cancer.
When standing after a long period of time sitting I experience symptoms beginning with pressure and pain to the center of my forehead. The pressure generates into my sinus and ears, making my ears pop as if in a plane. My vision becomes blurry and my legs feel as if they are going to collaspe from up under me. I have actually had to crawl on several occasions as my legs would not support me. This has been a consistant problem for about two months. It may occur 1-5 times a week.
The Doc then sent me to Therapy. After 7 weeks, I returned to the Doc and told him something was wrong, the pain remained, and the edema followed every therapy session. I asked if I should see a well known Physiologist in my area. The Ortho Doc wrote the referral. I saw the Physiologist and he referred me to his therapist. After 7 visits with her, I saw the The Ortho Doc again for a previous scheduled follow-up.
In the summer, when I take a hot shower or just when I wake up, my foot becomes red and swollen. It has evolved to the point that both my feet and hands have this condition. My injured foot is worse.
I live in a cold, winter climate and my feet turn purple as well. I have lost feeling in my left foot and it is becoming scary. Meds (to increase circulation) have aggravated the problem). RSD was ruled out as I had a nerve block which aggravated the problem. I have had all blood tests.
For almost 2 years, I have been, and continue to be, treated for Fibro, Osteoarthritis, Senile Osteoporosis (daily injection of Forteo), high blood pressure and low/none vitamin D, and periods of low white cells. Was checked for the usual, RA, Lupus etc. Nothing showed up. Previous health-worked fulltime around 50 hours a week or more, constantly going and doing, did many family dinners, active runner, won divisional 5k first place and masters and weight trained. BMI is around 20.
I have recently been extremely fatigued and have had multiple arthralgia's, red/raised rash on my forearms/under my arms that comes and goes, a very tender right breast with a lump that comes and goes under my arm and in my groin. I just "don't feel well", and also have noted "night sweats". I am a very busy Wife/Mother of 3 teens, work 40 + hours a week, volunteer at church, and am involved with the kids activities at school.

ve had migraines, severe neck pain, bad vision, and the last year has developed into extreme back pain, upper and lower, my hip feels like it will fall out of its socket and has been hurting so badly that I cant lie on my right side anymore and my shoulder on right side also severely painful. Been to many doctors who reported nerve pain, artheritis, but xrays show nothing! It is so discouraging and they discourage surgery because they can find nothing wrong.
I'm 31 weeks and I find my leg pain and back pain worsening the farther along I get. My leg pain usually happens before bed time while I'm laying down and as for my back pain it's all the time but most in the night as well. Does anyone have any similar symptoms? If so what helps to ease the pain or is this normal? I usually just try to sleep it off or massage the pain through.
