What Does Severe Pain In The Lower Back Indicate?

hi, I have a bone issue, where my T levels are pretty much off the chart, there for on cold and damp days having discomfort is normal for me. The past week I can barely walk without being in severe pain, I can hear and feel grinding in my lower back when I turn in different directions. They did find some fractures in my vetrebrae last year when i had my bone scan done. I started taking Forteo 6 months ago and do an injection daily, I m starting to get really concerned with the pain, it s keeping me from sleeping because it doesn t matter which position I lay it still very unfortable.

dear sir/ madam
even though forteo(teriperatde) helps in increasing bone mass , back strengthening exercises as tolerated has to be done ,
do you have any fresh history of fall,
since pain is disturbing your sleep,examination of the back for local tenderness and radiographs help to look out for fresh osteoporotic fractures even in those on teriperatide therapy.
I find this answer helpful
