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...

I am 64. A year ago, I finally listened to my endocrinologist (who had been urging me for years to treat my osteoporosis), and received my first prolia injection. Each bone density test had shown a prgressive and alarming decline in bone density. I will have another bone density test in May and hope the results are good. I let my somewhat irrational fears of medication overrule my decision making. The thought of a hip fracture and the loss of independence really scares me. I now regret not starting treatment sooner.
