Undecided choice of drugs for Osteoporosis

Posted by peace44 @peace44, Oct 10, 2023

I am 80 years old women and have borderline osteoporosis which affects my entire body. My doctor wants me to take Prolia and the Rheumatologist wants me to take Reclast. I’m unhappy with both choices as the side effects are great and I do not tolerate new drugs well. I am very undecided and am considering doing not taking annty drugs for this condition. I have never had a fracture and I’m very active Any opinions or advice.

Has anyone had severe bone pain after receiving a Prolia injection? I have been on Prolia for 3 years for osteoporosis. My bone density scan is the best it has been in years. After my last injection, I have really been experiencing lots of back pain where I had extensive surgery for scoliosis. My endocrinologist suggested I may want to switch to Reclast, but I am worried about side effects there. Just wondering if any of you have had back pain after a Prolia injection and how long this could last if this is the proble.

@clemsonbabe This website lists many kinds of pain that can be cause by Prolia. If you ever do decide to stop taking it, be sure to work with your Dr because you must go on another drug (like Fosamax or Reclast) to prevent fractures from Prolia discontinuation. https://www.goodrx.com/prolia/denosumab-prolia-side-effects
