Steroid injections while on Prolia/Jubbonti

The current thinking is that epidural steroid injections don't pose much harm to the bones unless the doses are very high and the shots are frequent. Otherwise, they don't affect the bones the way oral steroids do.

You are correct for epidural injections do not enter the blood stream as oral tablets. They do not affect the bones. I just had two transforaminal steroid epidural injections. My spine doctor assured me there was no risk in increasing my osteoporosis risk of fractures. So, it depends on how and what kind of injections you receive. Mine were injected into the nerve endings to reduce my pain. My Dr here in Dallas is a specialist in a Spine Clinic and is a teacher of injections so i trusted his educated statement plus it is also stated in other medical sites.
