I Need To Increase My Bone Density ASAP

When treating male osteoporisis from long term kidney disease (treated successfully by transplant) is it possible to use calcitonin along with forteo at the same time? i need to increase my bone density ASAP so that I can have scoliosis/kyphosis surgery.

i think it is not the right combination. using calcitonin and forteo togather will cause bone weakening this is what i have heard, is that true?
