Hi, Definitely stay away from Prolia. It has ruined my life! It made me lose hair and my legs were in constant pain and my finger joints developed large bone spurs. I felt awful most of the time. All of the osteoporosis drugs have side effects and I am now on calcium, vitamin D and vitamin B12. I keep active but do no formal exercising other than walking - about 2-3 miles a day in the course of my day. Good luck, Kaye -80 yrs. old

I don't know your scores but if you are just over the line of -2.5, I think you are doing the right thing. Along with calcium, D, K2 I would add making sure your balance is good. I did Tai Chi for that. Once on Prolia, you have to stay on meds. I do believe docs start meds prematurely in many cases. Keith McCormick's book The Whole Body Approach to Osteoporosis may be helpful. I am on meds now but stayed off for 14 years after my diagnosis.

Hi @rbryan It would probably be good to add some exercise. From what I've read lately, walking alone is not sufficient. There are two physical therapists who specialize in exercise and programs for osteoporosis. That's important because the wrong kind of exercises can cause fractures. Carol Michaels and Sara Meeks are both good and you can access information about them and their programs on the internet. Just google their names and osteoporosis. All the best!
