@neverretire Keith McCormick, in his book "Great Bones," writes that rebound is more easily handled if you do 1-3 shots (a year and a half) than if you continue.

What did your doctor tell you would happen when you have done the full course of Prolia (5 years?).

Do you see an endocrinologist? I am surprised that Prolia was suggested after a fracture getting into bed. Based on my experience with endocrinology, Tymlos, Forteo or Evenity would have been offered.

I hope you get expert help to avoid rebound and then get on one of those medications, but you have to find out if any of them will work after 3 shots of Prolia. Not saying they won't. But you need an expert on this. Of the three, Evenity might be the best possibility.

The fracture happened 14 months after taking the first Prolia shot. I’ve read that if you stop Prolia you risk fractures so I thought the fracture was caused by stopping the injections.
I see an internal medicine doctor as my primary care physician. I was not given any information on Prolia; not by my doctor or the hospital that administered the drug.
I too hope for some better informative decisions.
Thank you so much for your time.
