Unfortunately, I’m not sure if I have a choice. I still have osteoporosis being on Prolia for 4 years. Mainly in my forearms. It’s difficult, or so I’ve been told, to have an accurate bone density of your spine once arthritis kicks in. My hip is osteopenia. I’m usually an avid reader about the meds I go on. I didn’t do much research transitioning from Prolia to Tymlos/Forteo. I was always a healthy eater, and worked out for hours. Osteoporosis runs in my family and I have read that it is genetic. My mother was a dancer and a swimmer all her life and she had osteoporosis as well. Not given a choice I may have to take my chances that I’ll some success on one of those drugs. Getting older is challenging. I’m always optimistic, this has gotten me a bit down. I’ve been off Prolia 2 weeks. It will be a total of 5 when I have an appointment. I will ask her about the rebound you expressed. They have found a cyst on one of my sinuses which can be my cause of my jaw hurting. If that’s the case she’ll put me on Evenity. I have an appointment with an ENT Dr Tuesday. I can’t take the chance if it effecting my jaw if it’s from the Prolia. Thank you for responding. I’m very pleased with all the responses I’ve received.

@laujodrik I seriously hope you will go on YouTube and do a search for "Ben Leder Combination and Sequencing Approaches to Osteoporosis" or get Keith McCormick's book "Great Bones." Please let me know if you do. Much better than a forum and the risks of various plans are explained well.

Others can chime in. I myself have not used Prolia but have read that taking a break can be risky. I am not sure if 5 weeks poses that risk for a drop in density and increase in fracture risk but I hope you can check on this.

Can you get a cancellation at your endo?

!I have arthritis, scoliosis and 7 spinal fractures but I still have a DEXA of my spine. They omit the fractures. Hip and forearm are cortical. People seem to be posting lately about forearm scores!
