I am a 56 year old woman recovering from a wrist fracture with a previous knee fracture about 10 years ago. My wrist surgeon noted an "osteoporotic break" pattern and I went to an osteoporois doctor. He is recommending forteo. I also have low vitamin D and will be starting supplements. I have been treated in the past for osteopenia, most recently with calcium supplements and fortical. Now I'm reading all the horrid side effects people are describing to forteo and am really afraid of starting this. I am fairly active and don't want to change this to forstall another fracture 20 years from now. What would you do???
