Hello! I have been taking Boniva injections every 3 months for 15 months for severe Osteoporosis in my spine, hips and femoral neck. A recent Dexascan (bone density) showed a further decline in my bones. *thinning and brittle* I have some compression fx's already.

I am devastated. I cannot take any of the oral meds, due to esophageal and stomach problems, so must find a drug that is injectible either IV, or daily injections.
My Rheumy suggested Forteo, which is a daily injection. An Orthopaedic Dr mentioned Reclast, which is a once a yr IV infusion and my Gyno is the one who put me on the Boniva injections every 3 months already. I am so bewildered as to what to do. I checked the Forteo online and quite frankly, the side effects frighten me.

Does anyone have any info or experience w/osteo drugs/info that are not in the oral form????

I am at my witt's end fretting over this. The constant back/hip pain is really starting to get to me and I don't want to waste any time getting a new drug started.

I am thankful for any advice/help I can get.
