Good luck with your recovery. 

Just so you know, those bisphosphonate drugs (Boniva etc.) don't build bone. They only slow bone loss. Evenity is the only drug that will build new bone plus prevent bone loss...a 2-in-1 drug.

SilleeMee, yes the Dr I am going to told me that about Evenity..

It's the meds after your done with the Evenity I am not so happy with, lot of side effects but you have to do them or you waste your year on Evenity. 

It's good to know you haven't had any issues with Evenity though..thank you

You're welcome. I'm hoping that I won't have any side effects from the Prolia. My NP said it's very similar to Evenity so maybe I'll be okay with it.
