whattodo1, Prolia is fast to increase bone density. The trouble is that you can't take a shot or two and go on your merry way because the bone comes off faster and more deeply than it is gained when you quit the drug. When Prolia came on the market it was widely lauded and widely prescribed, no on knew what happens when you quit. Women were suffering cascade fractures in their spines, after seeing great dexa gains.
If you have terrible bone density the osteoporosis medications are worth the cost, because of how your life can change if you fracture.
Sadly, osteoporosis requires continuous medications to prevent fracture. With low bone density, you are best advised to take a bone building drug. My favorite is Forteo. It is expensive, too. And inconvenient. But it builds the best bone and is the safest medication.
You might qualify for financial help through the drug companies if your income is limited.
Are you being offered any choices of medications to take. In my opinion Prolia is the most dangerous.
