Brief Answer:
could be the forteo
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
It is possible that Forteo is the cause of your pain. Common side effects of forteo are joint pains, general pain and muscle pain.
It is really hard to know if forteo is the cause for the pain or if some other condition is causing it
Please let your doctor know about these possible side effects. They may want you to stop the forteo for a few months to see if it is the cause of your pain.
I am sorry that you are dealing with worsening pain.
I wish you the best,
Dr. Robinson
