I have been diagnosed. What "score" reflects the most bone breakage? i.e. hip, wrist?

Yes, I have been on Fosmax a few times, 2 years of Forteo (which I had outstanding results in building bone mass), now Prolia. I am on my 3rd year of Prolia. I will not have a DEXA scan until next year to see the results of a 3rd year of Prolia but after 2 I had results and am now osteopenia

People need to understand that Vitamin D can be hazardous to aging persons. If taken in excess amounts, it sometimes contributes to dizziness or other causes of imbalance resulting in falls and broken bones therefrom. There's a lot of literature on this from competent halls of medical science. As a general rule, as I understand it, total intake of Vitamin D from all sources (including supplements) should not exceed 4,000 International Units per day when taken daily. Larger doses are sometimes prescribed, but for much longer periods of time, such as 50,000 IU per month. Other factors at work, of course, are calcium and parathyroid hormone. All three of these should be lab tested and explained to you by your MD.

Was on Fosamax for a few years..quite a while ago...then nothing..except Remicade (Rheumatiod Arthritis @ Crohn's)..about to receive Prolia Anyone have feelings on this med pro? con?

I've been taking 35mg fosmax/week for nearly 10 years ( with one year off ). I'm very active hiking, do farm chores, go to aerobics & use weights & Take a multivitamin with 600 mg calcium. But my bone density continues to decline. My family practioner thinks I should double my dosage of fosmax or consult a rheumatologist. Don't know what to do......

I stopped taking Fosamax about 7 years ago and started once yearly Reclast infusion. My bone density now shows small increase in bone density. Small, but also no further decline. I would like to suggest you see an endocrinologist to discuss other options than the Fosamax.

You need to add D3 and K2 with zinc and vitamin A. The calcium your taking is going into your arteries and muscle not your bones.

I was just diagnosed with severe osteoporosis T-4.13 lumber and Left femoral neck. I had a bad fall and fratured T12.

I am on a lot of supplements for bone health and statred tweaking my diet for optimal bone health.
I have second thoughts on having the Prolia injection and is still on the fence.

I am 69 and consider myself active and healthy until the fall.

Any thoughts in this??Pleae...

If I were you, I'd research and research prolia, and that goes for any drug you may consider. You have to weigh the pros and cons..then really up to you. Google a good diet for bone health that includes home cooking and supplements. All that said, I'm believing some of us are just prone to osteoporosis for many other reasons besides diet and lifestyle. I still try the diet and lifestyle because its healthy...I can't tolerate those drugs. The rest is in Gods hands. Hope you heal quickly, and rebound on whatever you enjoy!

Prolia is an injection. What of breast cancer risk. I have no idea. In my two opinions, medicine is beneficial, however short term. Would 20 years research answer my question? I doubt it. Secondly, I want to live a ripe old age. It's a risk I take right now until proven otherwise.
