Prolia treatment for osteoporosis: What is your experience?

I agree with you, I will never take another Prolia injection.

Hi Recently, my doctor told me to start Prolia and I like your sel found sideffects and high cost so I decide to take Fosomax which does have side effects but it is les expensive. I will not be taking this medication for too long as I’ve increased my exercises, vegetable consumption , timing my calcium supplements for better absorption. Additionally, I taking more Vit k which helps direct calcium into the bones. I’ve cut out coffee, and considerably reduced my alcohol consumption to 1/2 glass of wine with dinner. I also have appts with Rehab MD and a Feldenkrais class. Whatever I can do on my own I’ll be glad to do. I am very concern and looking forward to doing better. I can’t undergo the Bone density or another 24months so I’ll see how much my t-score is then. No one in this community has given any positive reports on these medications . It would be very hopeful for me to read a positive report. I would like to know how much of Vit D , Magnesium, and VitK. MY PCP didn’t say much to me other than “Don’t fall” and go to the gym more often. I was very disappointed in him or his lack of support and knowledge. He didn’t even refer me for Physical Therapy or Rehab.

I have not met any Drs. that know anything about Prolia. You would think Orthopedic surgeons would know something but they don’t!

I’ve chosen not to go on Prolia like many of the rest of you. After reading all the side affects and what people
Have said on here it sounds horrible. I have been going to a physical therapist who has been a wealth of information. So much more than any of my doctors. So along with my PT’s expertise and watching my diet I have chosen to tackle this challenge with what my gut tells me. Best of luck to all of you!

I was going for physical therapy but once they found out that I had osteoporosis and arthritis they told me there was nothing else they could do
