I was diagnosed at 50 with osteoporosis. It took 6 years before they realized after being sent to a rheumatologist who ran a lot of tests because of my age, that I had hyperparathyroidism.

which is better option to treat osteoporosis Prolia 60 mg (denosumab) or Reclast like aclasta injection(zoledronic acid) for post menopausal women of 77 years old? She has already taken Bonmax Pth injection for 2 years.

I have had two Prolia injections so far. I have noticed that over the winter, my hip pain is greater than it was before the Prolia. More stiffness too.

@crenhov, just want to add to the options. After a rough time with Boniva....I chose Tymlos for 18 mos. Just started month 5. No side effects. Easy to manage. Will wait patiently for next scan. NOT! Waiting is difficult, especially when you are 77. How long before testing? Be content and at ease today. Thanks for being a great Connect resource. Chris

I had originally beem prescribed Boniva and another prescription and neither worked. my bone density went from peri-osteoporosis to full-blown osteoporosis.
I have been on Prolia for over 10 years and I’ve never had any issues and my bone density test every two years has shown an increase in bone with no issue. The only thing I’m wondering is how long can you be safely on for Prolia❓ my endocrinologist was never able to tell me anything about that.
