Osteoporosis Advice

[ans]

OK. The hematologist/oncologist suggested a yearly infusion of Reclast. My internist I think suggested Forteo but said that I'll have to inject myself daily. My pharmacist said that this is untrue and btw, there's a generic for Forteo (or Fosomax?) [running on no sleep]. She also said that at my age of 56, there is no such thing as bone growing.

Now I'm really confused.

Is there anything I can take that will actually grow bone and increase my bone density?

Thanks.

Oh, my femoral neck's readings were 2.5 and 2.7 standard deviations from the norm and the lumbar spine looked OK - with the caveat that my extensive DDD could make these readings look better than they are in terms of osteoporosis/osteopenia.

Any help appreciated.
