I won't take Prolia due to it stating that stopping the injections can cause spinal fractures. My pharmacist confirmed this with the manufacturer, although the endocrinologist believes otherwise. . The other problem is that having low bone density doesn't correlate to bone strength. I have osteoporosis, but have never broken a bone, even when falling. My friend doesn't have osteoporosis, but has broken bones when falling. Unfortunately, there is not enough known about this disease and we are all guinea pigs. The medical profession is constantly changing their minds about treatments that were once mainstream. That is not necessarily a bad thing; it just means one should do some research and not blindly trust their doctor.

I agree that it is very important to do your own research. My experience has been that most of the doctors I've seen for the many years I've had osteoporosis strongly push osteoporosis drugs. With all the new information coming out about side-effects they cause, don't depend on your physician to alert you to them. Also, I suggest to read reviews from those that take the drugs you are considering to find out first-hand what others are experiencing positive or bad.
