Thank you so much for your honest reply. I’m sorry to hear all you went through. You spoke the way I feel. I have osteoporosis and have been on Prolia , which has done a great job of improving my condition. I also have arthritis in parts of my body including my knees and bone spurs on both knees. I do walk every day and I know that has helped. I hate to ruin it all by taking medicine. You gave me a lot to think about and I’m sorry I’m learning from your pain. I’m so glad I found this board. Thank you.

@bepsie just want to make sure you know that Prolia has a very strong rebound when stopped, resulting in bone loss back to where you were before treatment and increase in fracture risk. You have to go on Reclast to address the rebound. If you only do 1-3 Prolia shots, you might be able to do Fosamax. My doctors don't use Prolia because of the rebound risk.
If your osteoporosis was severe, an anabolic medication like Tymlos, Forteo or Evenity might be better but I believe that Tymlos and Forteo, at least, won't work well after Prolia. Not sure about Evenity
