Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 68-year-old female who was first diagnosed with osteopenia and now osteoporosis. My physician has highly recommended medication or a monthly injection. I have completed hours of research and am very unhappy with the many personal stories of side effects. Evenity, the one drug that actually claims to rebuild bone, is not covered under Medicare, and the price is $2,086 per shot/per month for one year. (So sad!)
