I had an infected implant removed a few weeks before my next Prolia shot was due. My oral surgeon said I couldn’t go back on Prolia for 4 months and I was petrified. I continued to work out with a specialist PT who is knowledgeable about osteoporosis. My Rheumatologist told me at my age, 79 with lots of arthritis is impossible to get an accurate bone density on my spine. My forearm was 3.4 and my hips were osteopenia. I was petrified since she said going on Tymlos for the first few months would have a rebound effect and probably not be effective. Last Tuesday I took my Prolia shot. It’s not a magic bullet so I know I still have to be careful and not work out too hard. I hope I’ll be one of the success stories. I’m still a bit nervous because of my age. You must find knowledgeable people that know what they’re doing. I was already on the pills when I was younger so it wasn’t an option. Fingers crossed I’ll be ok.
