I was put on Prolia and was on it for almost 6 years. I started experiencing severe jaw pain at the end of the 5th year and thought I had TMJ. I went to an oral surgeon and when he learned I was on Prolia, he told me to get off of it immediately. The pain in my jaw was like nothing I had ever experienced. I caution you that if you go on Prolia for any extended period of time, you may experience the same affect. I was told that the longest anyone should be on Prolia is 4-5 years. No one ever told me that.
I've been told now (after being off Prolia for 2 years) that I need to get on Evenity (the monthly shot for 12 months) and then start Prolia after that. I may be doing myself a disservice but I will not get on Evenity (side effects are signficiant) and definitely not on Prolia. So I started the AlgaeCal Plus and Strodium program 6 months ago and pray when I get my bone scan in another 6 months, I will show improvement. I hope whatever you choose, you find much success with little to no side affects.

@rosem1953 Hello Rose- thanks for sharing. I popped in on this thread as I am just now exploring which drug, if any, to take for OP. I an sorry to hear about your jaw pain- and that you no one told you the longest you should be on it was 4-5 years. When you went off did you experience any side-effects - and how long before your jaw felt better? I know we can't count on everyone having the same experience but it is good to know outcomes..if you plan for the worst you will be satisfied with less than the worst!

I would also be interested in knowing how your next scans go. I am considering diet, supplements , and exercise to stave off any further reduction. I am 64 and contemplating not starting any drugs until I am closer to 70. I don't know if that would do greater harm then good -wish I had a crystal ball! Good luck with your journey - and praying you see no reduction in bone mass on your next scan.

@rosem1953 Thank you for your post. Please let all of us know how it goes after taking the AlgaeCal Plus and Strodium.
Blessings
