STOP! Don't do this if you have osteoporosis

I have osteoporosis and chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4. I get a bone density test every 2 years. I think it is a Dexa scan. I will ask about the benefits of a REMS scan. I am on Prolia, an injectable medication every 6 months. Before I started it I asked if it would cause problems for my kidneys. My nephrologist approved it. I have these appointments coming up this week and will ask about the scans and the med. If there’s any new information I’ll report back.

Do Prolia and Forteo do the same basic thing? My husband was recently given a prescription for Forteo and he will need daily injections for two years followed by a few years on Reclast, per his endocrinologist. A shot every six months sounds heavenly in comparison. Just wondering if we could have done that instead of the Forteo.
