Prolia treatment for osteoporosis: What is your experience?
I received the results from my bone test and they have recommended I start Prolia. I have read the side effects and I am concerned. Has anyone use this drug and if so what side effects have you experienced. Thank you

Did you have to win yourself off it and how many injections did you have before you stop taking it
I had one injection and will never do that again. I could not get up from the sofa, had no strength in my legs, had trouble walking more than a few steps. It took me several months to get back to a somewhat normal walk. Before taking Prolia I was walking 2 miles a day but Prolia ended that.
Thank you so much for letting me know did you stop on your own or did you have the doctor put you on something else right after you stop taking prolia? I'm so sorry to hear that you're not feeling well
I have not met any Drs. that know anything about Prolia. You would think Orthopedic surgeons would know something but they don’t!
@oneof6 you are so right ,read all the post here and side effects some people have to live with
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
@twocents Good for you My girlfriend went this route along with the bone vitamins 10 yrs ago she is doing 👍
What vitamins is she taking
@swim4ever That's rediculus Go to another P.T.group or go on your own to a gym at the gym where my girlfriend went to there are therapist there who helped her pick the right machines plus she takes a complete Vitamin-Mineral every day and swims or water aerobics I should say ,be your own advocate ,you know your body better then anyone ,Don't let anyone tell you ,you can't sorry I got on my soapbox but that isnt right what she said.
