Default re side effects

Judy,
I used Forteo for a while (sub q injec) tho as I said wasn't compliant. At first there was overall joint pain and increased back pain. Tho it didn't last long .. something like after the first week or so it went away.

re the 2nd opinion thing.. yeah.. tho it'd be good maybe to have a fresh opinion w/someone that doesn't know your complete history and sees you for the first time and gives an opinion based on what's going on now, what you've had done and what they think you need to have done.

Is it emergent to schedule another surgery? If not I'd take the time for 2nd and even 3rd surgical opinion.

Even if you'd not have anyone else touch your back hearing a few other opinions could be well worth the time it takes to arrange your schedule.
