Prolia discontinuation

I have been on Prolia for 15 years. The good news is that I went from osteoporosis to osteopenia. The bad news is that I have joint pain which is becoming progressively worse. I'm concerned about discontinuing Prolia. I went off of it for three years. There was no significant change for my forearm, nec, or hip. My spine, however, went from a T score of -2.1 to -2.5. Since resuming Prolia in 2019, the spine T is -1.8. I asked my endocrinologist if Prolia was the best prescription for me and she wouldn't consider other options. I'm going to see a new orthopedic doctor soon and will ask for his opinion. I can't tolerate the joint pain any longer. Has anyone else experienced increasing joint pain with Prolia? With other medications for bone loss?

@janetroberson1 That is amazing that you lost only a small amount of bone density after stopping Prolia. How long had you been on it before you stopped?
Sorry I've not taken Prolia and have not kept up on it's possible side effects like joint pain, so I cannot offer any info on that.
