Medication following Evenity- Reclast vs Prolia?

@naturegirl5 thanks for your nice comment. I appreciate it.
That's so great that you made such excellent results in the hip area. Despite what I wrote about Evenity helping the hips I personally got terrific gains in the spine and not so much in the TH and FN.
I'm going to add to my weight routine to try to target that area even more. I was already doing squats, deadlifts, and weighted carries. I'm adding lunges and jumping with impact on landing. Very easy on the impact portion though.
Congratulations again on those so important hip gains.

@awfultruth I should add that I did not and do not rely on medication alone. I pay attention to my diet and nutrients to make sure that these are calcium rich. I've been weightlifting for over 30 years, hiking, walking, and x-country skiing. I've always been active and doing things I enjoy. When I started weightlifting I did it because it was something I found I enjoyed. This was long before I knew weightlifting might be helpful for the osteoporosis I had not yet developed. I don't follow any particular program for weightlifting. I have been working with a personal trainer since my total hip replacement surgery 5 years ago. I also workout with aerobics and weights on my own. But now I've added balance training and since this is done in a standing position on one or both legs it is also weight bearing. Like you, I do squats with a barbell, Romanian Dead Lifts with a kettlebell, deadlifts with the barbell (my personal favorite) and weighted carries.
Congratulations to you on your weightlifting and your bone density gains. Let's continue to spread that scientific evidence with references linked and cited right here on Mayo Clinic Connect.
