And how much were those vertebroplasties? Dan R. Daniel Braun, MD "If everyone likes you, you're doing something wrong."

My mother has severe osteoporosis and has had to have four vertebroplasties over the past six months because of spontaneous fractures in the lumbar and thoracic areas. She wasn't able to tolerate bisphosphonates and had been on nasal calcitonin, but she finally got in to see a rheumatologist who put her on Forteo (teriparatide), which seems the best drug for buildup of new bone. Quite expensive, ~$450/month. Ronald E. Ainsworth

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
