Alternative treatment instead of Prolia injections
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Feb 4 10:23am | Replies (59)Comment receiving replies
Recently diagnosed with Osteoporosis, the doctor prescribed Prolia injections. I am 55. I already took 3 doses of prolia now I'm feeling leg pain in several areas. which I believe is a side effect of prolia. I asked my doctor if I stop taking prolia or any alternative but no answer yet because previously I took peel which caused bleeding and constipation. I want a good suggestion.

My endocrinologist suggested prolia almost two years ago. I have put her off because of the side effects. I'm not willing to risk them. She said and everything I've read says once you start you're committed to receiving for the duration. I think it's 2 injections yearly for 3 to 5 years. I also read once stopped, you can suffer bone breaking from the prolia. She offered recast, not much better alternative. I'm taking my chances and pray I have no falls that result in broken bones! I've had 3 falls, nothing broken! I have osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, and more. We are all individuals. Good luck.

raquib, is your MD a specialist. If not, go to one of those. For a well-regarded doctor (by the medical field), check out the Castle and Connally website. They don't accept money for the doctors listed who are recommended by others in the medical field and then "checked out" by C&C.
