Default re bone growth

ans,

Please the part particularly about oseoblasts/osteoclasts

FYI~ the injectable Forteo is not like drawing up a syringe of medication and injecting one's self intramuscularly. It's done with a pen system and a very small fine needle on a pen type of system and all you have to do is grasp a little roll of fat (like around the stomach) and subcutaneously inject the medication by pulling back on the base of the pen system (like the needle) and pushing this very slender tiny needle into the sub-q fat and then it's advised to count to five which I sometimes do or not and withdraw the needle.

To me the worse thing about this is remembering to do it daily and the smell of the medication which isn't bad just sometimes sticks with me for some reason.

While I googled this info it seemed to be correct,succinct and pertinent to the question asked. Read on...
