Luckily I got off Prolia after 6 months- I had the worst reactions while I was on it- aching joints, bleeding gums, hair loss etc. The Doctors never tell you the drawbacks-then I was put on actonel THE WORST- I had sever reflux and esophagus issues had to go to the ER- went off the actonel and still have esophagus issues. I NEVER had these issues in my life. I am so sick of these DRs. telling you wha to take and then we suffer all the side effects. So I exercise vigorously, eat calcium rich foods and try to be careful with potential falls. I have entry level osteoporosis- had endometrial cancer 8 years ago with chemo and I think that is what destroyed my bones.

If u have Medicare they will pay for a home visit. I’m not sure what kind of practioner, I believe a nurse, but not an RN. I would hope one of the things they would check is a falls risk assessment and assessment of your home for environmental causes of falls — area rugs, poor lighting, clutter or debris on floors, uneven or split-level flooring, insecurely attached carpets or rugs, slippery surfaces (especially in bathrooms and kitchens), and poor stair design or maintenance (such as uneven steps or lack of sturdy handrails). Additional risks are obstacles like trailing wires or low furniture, a lack of grab bars in bathrooms, and poor outdoor maintenance, including uneven sidewalks or slippery entrances.
