I have been on Forteo daily injections for 1 year and I have experienced considerable joint pains which did not exist prior to treatment. My left hip and knee, my right knee and my hands have been getting worse each month. Has anyone else experienced similar reactions?
My doctor told me that I have Osteoporosis and wants me to try Forteo an injection for two years. Has anyone tried this drug and what were your side effects, if any. I don't want to make my stomach problems worse than there already are.
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?
Just was informed that I have osteoporosis. My doctor wants me to use Forteo, an injection that you use for two years.
As for myself, I am a patient suffering from severe osteoporosis. My doctor, realizing I cannot afford Forteo ($950 per month!), has suggested I try to find how I can take the equivalent, generic version, which is Bonista.
Please, if anyone can tell me how to get ahold of this medication, any address, emails of sellers, etc! I would be so grateful!

I often get subcutaneous bleeds on the side of my face, somewhere between just in front of the ear to about mid-cheek. They do not happen during the day, nor as a result of impact. I wake in the morning and notice them while shaving. They take the shape of a small blotch to a vertical bar. They darken and disappear over a few days. I have my blood pressure checked regularly and this is within normal bounds.
s skin. He has several (20 and counting) subcutaneous nodules on various parts of his body. They are mostly located on his forearms, over his ribs on his anterior chest wall, and on his ischial tuberosities on his buttocks. Most of them are subcentimeter, but one on his ischial prominence is 2.5 cm. He had an excisional biopsy of a couple that overlie his ribs, and they were determined to pathologically be consistent with ganglion cysts.
Hi-- When you say Medicare, I assume it is Medicare Part D, administered by an insurance company like Blue Cross, etc? If so, you might be in for sticker shock. I had a similar experience w/ Forteo, via Part D, they wanted $5K for 3 months. I went directly to Lilly, and qualified for pro bono meds for 2 years, the limit of tx on Forteo. My understanding is patients with cirrhosis get priority. Other Gilead experienced persons, and there are a few here, can tell you more.
There are many non-protruding, needle-point-sized subcutaneous bleeding spots on the skin, which will not change color when squeezed, and more and more. All four tests of blood transfusion were normal. What are these subcutaneous bleeding points?

I'm 23 and have Fibrocystic Breast Disease and run a high risk for breast cancer. I've had several biop's and my doctor is telling me to consider a subcutaneous mastectomy. I had neuroblastoma as a child and don't want to go through any type of cancer again.
Real-time grayscale ultrasound imaging was performed of the left lower quadrant near the pubic symphysis on 8/1/2019.

Medications themselves can be classified as antiresorptive or bone anabolic agents. Teriparatide (Forteo) is also approved for the treatment of postmenopausal women who have severe osteoporosis and are considered at high risk for fractures. The medicine is given through daily shots underneath the skin and you can give these shots even at home. Another advantage is that it can be given in patients who cannot tolerate oral biphosphonate drugs.
What does mild nonspecific superficial subcutaneous edema about the hindfoot and midfoot mean.
I have a friend that’s been in the hospital for three weeks the doctors can’t seem to figure out what is wrong. They mention that it might be subcutaneous emphysema. Someone help!! He have swelling difficulty breathing. Air that is leaking from somewhere partial lung collapse etc. seems like doctors have done everything and still no answer.
Sometimes with injuries, air can get trapped underneath the skin in the subcutaneous layers, leading to trapping of air, a crackling feeling. This is called subcutaneous emphysema. Check with your doctor to rule out this condition.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Ive had these bumps on my feet that have also been referred to as subcutaneous nodules by my GP.Started five years ago and every summer they really "come out" Was referred to a dermatologist and have seen one a year for the last five years. I was given two biopsies over this time period, checked specifically for HIV, lichen planus(hep c), and fungal. Negative for all three but results did show a "lymphohistiocytic inflammatory cell infiltrate".
I agree. I forgot to check for bubbles/blood on one of my previous shots too and I'm still alive :) Once you make that kind of "oopsy", chances are you won't do it again. I do hope you sterilized the area first.
