Reclast BEWARE causes broken femur!

There are issues with Prolia too. I was on Evenity for a year. No issues and good results in my spine. Im now on 2nd Prolia shot. Dr wants me to get Reclast iv next but it scares me. They say alternative would be Fosomax which would undoubtedly cause gastric distress. I am 66 and I was hopeful for an end to all the drugs. Any thoughts? Feeling desperate

Does he want you to finish prolia after two shots because the rebound issue is not as great? I am looking at a similar position but I am 77 And according to the actuarial tables my lifespan average is 84. So if I stayed on prolia for what might be 7 years i could imagine it although I do have some additional joint pain. What were your dexa numbers after evenity? The prolia was to help retain your gains from evenity. Did he talk to you about prolia rebound. Did you ask him about adrug holiday and if and when in your drug sequencing plan that might be possible.
Do you take hormone replacement? That may be of benefit if their are no health issues that might be risky for you
If you can please avoid Fosomax. A friend went on it years ago and lost half her jaw bone

Best drug I used was Forteo shots for 4 years. There is another drug my doc wants me on instead of Prolia, but I had a heart attack i February and have to clear one year before I can have or.
Three weeks ago I had 7 hours of back surgery at Northwestern, so I am barely making it. I had flat back and scoliosis from failed back surgeries in the’90’s. I need some time to think about next steps. I am in bad shape now.
Good luck.
