Okay, you are obviously scared of Prolia so cross that off your list. I am not sure how old you are or what is prompting this fear of needing a hip replacement. Is it because of what the Doctors are telling you?

I probably have arthritis as I will get stiff if I sit too long. I never had X-rays to determine that. But that goes away by moving and stretching. I am concerned about breaking a bone but not so scared that it dominates my life. I make sure my balance is as good as possible by my exercises and gym classes . My gym guy who is 81 emphasizes balance because he does not want us to fall and fracture a bone.

I do not think about my osteoporosis but I am careful walking up and down stairs, how I stand,
if I am in a crowd etc. iIf you feel you need an osteo med perhaps an oral med rather than an injection type would set your mind at ease. Why don’t you look into a senior class or a balance class at a local gym. Take charge of doing things and eating bone healthy foods to take some of the worry out of your life. The Doctors are not going to help you there. The more confident you become about your ability to navigate through life as you age the better off you will be.
