Hi I’m 61 and following various back issues stemming from my RA and then diagnosed bursitis i was given further mri and DXA scans. Two disc bulges one abutting nerve at L1/s5 and osteoporosis diagnosed in lower lumbar spine at -3.4 and both hips at -2.5. So ilm battling three pain points. I’ve been referred to Osteoporosis department but this could take months! I’m thinking if I went private to start the infusion I need would the NHS pick it back up when my referral comes up? I can’t wait another 8 months (like physio) as I’mjust existing and anxious about fracturing myself. I also cant get on with strength training because of fear and pain. I’m taking my own calcium 600mg and folic acid and vitamin d any advice appreciated.
Hi,
I know how scary it can be four spinal fractures and spine bone density-4,7 at 66 after part thyroid removal 28 years ago and despite asking for follow up non given. I chose to go privately to be on Evenity and had 3 injections then when I finally got appointment with NHS they took the other injections on So I would always say do it and get your GP to chase appointment when you have had your infusion. Good luck take care Anne x
