Doctors do seem to favor Prolia, and in my opinion it’s the worst of the drugs currently available. Mostly because of the rebound fractures should you have to stop the drug.
That’s what happened to me, ended up with 6 pelvic fractures.
I’m glad to hear you didn’t fracture after falling, that’s a good sign.
The dexa isn’t the best predictor of fracture anyway, it cannot tell the quality of the bone, only the quantity, and even that can’t be trusted.
Just stick to what’s working and don’t let anyone scare you into treatment your gut tells you to stay away from.
Wish I had done that.

@sonsondrachristo1 I certainly won’t, after reading about Prolia! It is very true that drugs - and even supplements - are not a “one size fits all”. I am so glad I stopped Prolia after the first dose!

Both my former physician and my current physicians are very caring and proactive but I guess even the best can be swayed by a very convincing pharmaceutical representative …!
