Hello,
It looks from your details that your mother is suffering from osteoporosis. If you can not afford forteo then you may also give her boniva 150mg once a month. This contain ibandronic acid and effective for post menopausal osteoporosis and for vertebral osteoporosis. Only difference between boniva and forteo is its intake method.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
