Good afternoon @malliecallie and welcome to Connect. Active at 79 and want to stay that way. I get it. I must admit I am surprised that Prolia was recommended for you as the first medication to control Osteoporosis. From everything I read and what I have been told by my endocrinologist, it is important to use a bone-building medication first. There are three of those, Forteo, Tymlos and Evenity. I don't know what your level of Osteoporosis is at this point. I am going to ask @windyshores to check in with you.

May you be safe, protected and free of inner and outer harm.
Chris

Thank you for your reply. My doctor did not mention medications to take, he just immediately sent a prescription to pharmacy for Prolia. Did not offer alternatives. My level
of osteoporosis is pretty bad, but I have no symptoms...I did have two fractured ribs last year, and I have some pain from that....but otherwise so far, I am OK. I will ask about the medications you mentioned.
