Has anyone experienced growing/lengthening of bones while taking Forteo? I have been using it for about 5 months now and I think I'm actually growing! At age 51! I was just fitted for new sneakers and went from a size 9 to a 10.5 and I've noticed that the long sleeves on some of my tops have become not so long sleeved. ## The FDA does not list that as being a normal side effect of this medication, but there is no way to say how anyone will be affected by any given medication. The typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, joint/muscle aches, and administration site reactions. However, there are also other medical conditions that may cause such issues, so it would be best to check with your physician to be sure. Are you on any other medications?

My hip bone numbers are worse after the 6 month shot. ## Not all medications and treatments work for everyone that tries them, that's why they are usually several choices available in any given therapeutic category. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Prolia as possibly including bladder infection, arm/leg pain and back pain. You may need to speak to your doctor about trying an alternative. Is there anything else I can help with? ## This is a terrible drug. I only took 2 injections in 9/14 and 3/15, but still have the resulting hair damage and jaw pain. My ENT and Dentist both told me that my jaw is messed up...Prolia does mention that as a side effect, but not hair damage. My immune system is weaker too...even 3 years after stopping Prolia. Yeah I'll just take the Osteopo...

I had two Reclast intravenous drugs; one in '08 & '09. In 2008 I had sinus lift augmentation with placement of 10 implants. In 2011, I lost one implant on the top & in 2012, I lost another implant on top again. I went to see my oral surgeon in July '12 and he told me that there was nothing he could do to help me as the bone in my upper jaw is severely deteriorated. Then I went to see a Prosthrodontist in Baltimore and he too could not make me a plate due to the severity of the upper bone. I subsequently learned that I cannot sue the drug company because they put on there indications about possible Jaw Bone problems. I do not remember my doctor telling me about the jaw bone problems prior to having the oral surgery. I am 63 years old & now left to flounder because...

Hi, I need to consult someone with knowledge about the physical symptoms following severe, rather long-term Furanylfentanyl / Acrylfentanyl abuse. I was hoping someone around here might be able to answer my question. A little more than a year ago I got entangled in an intranasal Fentanyl analogue addiction (which obviously is the stupidest thing I have ever done) due to a series of rather traumatic events in my life. That addiction continued for a total of some eight months (with a few short, abrupt clean periods in between). In the absolute depths of a deep depression, I finally managed to cold turkey quit the horror med and began a long ascent from both said depression and the unbelievable withdrawal that naturally followed. It has now been six hard months, and I am progressing, but t...

I have been advised to take Aztor 20 once daily after dinner. Also Clopilet A 75 following bypass surgery 7 months ago. I have developed fairly severe pain in the bones, knee joints. Can it be due to Aztor 20? is there any alternate drug for Aztor 20, which may not give the pain in bones? ## Yes, it can cause joint and muscle aches as side effects, according to NIH reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, and bad headaches. Have you consulted your physician to see what else you can try? Are these the only medications you take?

i got severe pain in my spinal card if i am sitting continuously.and also at night times i got the pain severely like my bones are pending. in my exray , one my bone is in damaged condition like corrosion but i am just 22 what should i do? ## What has your doctor advised? One thing you should do is avoid being sedentary for long periods of time, especially if you know it is going to cause you pain. Lack of movement will always aggravate these types of conditions and many people let themselves become sedentary, not realizing how much of their pain can be alleviated through exercise and movement.

dr.marshall urist,study of stem cells and this protein make up new cartilage in knees without surgery.is there such an item and dr.if so how is he contacted ## Hello! Sorry about your knees! Unfortunately, Dr. Urist passed away back in 2001, though yes, he is credited with identifying Bone-Mending Protein, he was an orthopedic surgeon. But, as it is a bone protein, it does not help cartilage, it helps bone. His work identified new proteins to help bones heal, when someone had suffered major fractures. They help with the regeneration of the bone. His work revolutionize orthopedic surgery, though ironically, it was ignored for many years, before finally being acknowledged as the "breakthrough" it was. Is there anything else I can help with?
