I suffered 2vfractures in vertebrae November 23, was on pain meds. Then surgery, didn't put me out. 1st vertebrae was very unnerving so I asked him to stop & not do 2nd
I am on prednisone due to copy & it does not interact well with prolia
I have looked at fosamax &:think not. Is there an alternatve,,? I am 81 & take calcium & d3. Help

schallsa, scary. How long have you been on Prolia, and when was your last injection. It is generally considered that Reclast is the best medicine to prevent rebound fractures after Prolia.
Reclast isn't always without complications. Prolia is sometime given with Forteo because it has better results than either drug alone. If your last Prolia were recent I would try to get Forteo added at least for the remaining months of Prolia duration. Forteo expedites the healing of fractures while relieving pain.
What symptoms are you having with the combined medications?
Prednisone and Prolia increase the risk of lung infections. You might call your physician, if you haven't.
