Is Taking Forteo Safe For An Elderly Woman?

Would you advise an eighty-ax year old woman to take Forteo? I have celiac disease so did not absorb many nutrients (until diagnosed) for many years of life and now my bones are not strong. This is showing up by mainly curvature of the spine and crushed discs. A surgeon has said he couldn t do surgery and I don t want it. Is there a better treatment than Forteo which I am leary about. Thank you
