re vit D defiency
Can be linked also to anemia. Not that you have this and I'm sure if you were tested for Vit D you were tested for anemia as I recall getting the most comprehensive blood work done by the specialist that manages my osteoporosis. He didn't think it was a good idea for me to be getting ESIs. I had already had nearly 10 years worth that helped my back pain greatly and I had osteopenia even at the beginning of ESIs as well as family history of mother, father, and older brother with osteoporosis.
The injectable daily medication is called Forteo. Then there's something given by IV once yearly to maintain bone density levels when the desired increased level is achieved although I've also read about the once/year tx being used to produce results like daily injectable medication.
Good luck w/whatever your plan is re surgery.
