I have been on Prolia for 5 years after 2 years I went from Osteoporosis to Osteopenia with excellent improvement in all of my scores. It’s now 2 years later and I have stayed on Prolia and due for an injection in June and a DEZA in August.
I have had lower spinal pain and my Endocrinologist referred me to a Rheumatologist that was purely a tele call but she ordered lumbar X-Rays which I wanted before my upcoming injection. She was impressed that my hip bones looked fantastic but I had some arthritis in lower spine. I want my DEXA before my inj in June which is when the Prolia has waned to see my numbers. If good I want off the Prolia. I’m a nurse and any medication not needed I don’t want. But I am 84 and prior to Osteoporosis I have been Osteopenia for years and had no discomfort. Coming off I will be very careful to transition to appropriate medication and monitor for rebounding.
