Yes I have had them they made my feet worse. They damaged tendon's. They also thin the fat pads on soles of feet, making walking very painfull.

Hi RitaMeeks,

I took Forteo and did it for 2 years not tons of improvement for me and it affected my brain. It is pitutiary gland which is in brain. One can only take it 2 years. My dr keeps pushing me into other bone making pills and they all make me sick. Have a good day. Hug.

I took a one time Remicade (I believe that’s what it’s called I know it starts with an R )for three consecutive years maybe two and it reversed my bone loss and I no longer have to take it

Yes, but they say that you can only take it for 2 years, after that a type of cancer is much more likely. I THINK, it's been a long time since that.
I tried HuMira too, and for 2 weeks I felt absolutely FANTASTIC! Then, like you on your other meds, got REAL Sick and had to come off humira right away..
"big Pharma has another Rx that may help! Then you realize it's another curve ball. I told my doctor that writes my Rxs." how have the snake oil meetings been going?
Anything new that could help me besides your snake oil? " He gave me a grimace. I said,"'Sooo, No?" 😂
I was on 240mg OXYCONTIN 80mg TID, OXYCONTIN 20mg IR QID for breakthrough (lol, when I'm taking 240mg of longacting 2 x a day?! That can't work, doctor admitted it. Arshole.
