@rose140 For many osteoporosis drugs, the majority of people taking them have no side-effects. The people who do have side-effects are the ones who go to forums like these to ask about how to deal with them. If you have an osteoporotic fracture, you will have a lot more "health issues" (like chronic pain, disability) than any osteoporosis drug.

@roseincalifornia, yes, it's a risk vs benefits equation.
Having fractured, and now being over 4 inches shorter as a result, I don't need any more grief if I can avoid it. I have an appointment--in January!--with another doctor, at Froedtert's Bone Health Clinic. See my endibin September. He's a Prolia fan.
