How do we know Evenity won’t have the same rebound issue as Prolia?

Some docs don't like to use Prolia because it is so hard to get off. The rebound causes a sudden drop in bone density and increase in fracture risk. This can be mitigated by going on Reclast.
I hope you can ask your doctor their reasoning. It might be because the longer you are on Prolia, the harder it is to get off. There is no such issue with Reclast. Then again I know women who are on Prolia for years. If you are older it might be worth considering (if getting off won't be an issue).

That's what I think. I'm 81 years old and at this point in my life, I don't see why I should get off of Prolia if it agrees with me to try something unknown. I have been dealing with the PA in the office, but have never spoken to a physician in this practice. Although she seems very knowledgeable, I would like to discuss this with a physician. Thanks.
