Hi Kat welcome to our site and thanks for your question.  I'm so sorry Forteo didn't help you!!  You'll need to discuss other options for treatment with your Dr. since he or she is the only one that knows your medical history.

 

I would ask the Dr. what other options are available and which one he thinks might be best for you given your personal medical history.  At least you didn't loose any more bone, so even though that doesn't seem like much it does mean you didn't get worse.

 

Good luck and if you have another question just ask.Smile
