Steroid injections while on Prolia/Jubbonti

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.

@stress101, would you mind telling me your doctor's name. I am in Austin, and might wind up looking for help elsewhere in Texas. Also, would you mind telling me a bit about your condition? I have severe lumbar stenosis and am curious about the transforaminal injections and whether they have helped you.
BTW, I was told that injections could affect bone in the immediate area if they are given frequently and at high doses (though I have no idea how to define "frequent" or "high dose"). But the bottom line is that they apparently don't affect bones systemically the way oral steroids do.
