Alternative treatment instead of Prolia injections

@formisc then maybe I could take it!

The label certainly confused me 🙂

Also want to add that Bone Maximizer III looks like a good product. I have always avoided Calcium Carbonate and now take both Calcium Hydroxyapatite and Calcium Citrate. My only reservation on the product is that it uses Magnesium Oxide (proportion between Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Aspartate not stated) which has low bioavailability instead of other forms like Magnesium Glysinate or Magnesium Malate

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.

hi, raquib. Reclast is usually prescribed to prevent the problem of rebound after Prolia. If you are having pain in your upper thigh, be sure your physician knows. It could be a sign of problems with the femur which is a risk with Prolia. When did you have your last injection?

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.

Hi, I experience right side thigh pain at rest, when I go to bed. I wonder if it is connected to my being on Alendronate for the past few years.
I just started Tymlos 3 days ago so things are changing but do you think I should mention the thigh pain to my endocrinologist?

The best option in my opinion and my doctor agreed is strength training. I had osteopenia headed toward osteoporosis. My doctor agreed to the strength training as long as it keeps things stable. I have been training with a physical therapist for over 2 years. Ok so far.
This is real weight…not the little 2,5, 10 pound weights that most women think of. Walking is ok, stair climbing is good, but for really maintaining your bones, it has to be strength training. I would suggest talking with your doctor and a physical therapist.
FYI: strength training is not for sissies😁

Strength training may also be dangerous for some of us with more advanced osteoporosis and/or fractures!

And other conditions, as well.

mundy, yes talk about the thigh pain and ask what AFF (atypical femur fracture) is exactly and if it might be what is causing your pain you might ask for imaging of the femur. I applaud your change of medication. Best choice!
