Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

I was on Prolia for 2 years and stopped due to frequent sinus infections and rashes, then went back on Fosomax. I suffered 3 spinal fractures within 2 months of stopping Prolia. I wish I’d never started Prolia. Just be very careful if u stop. I’m not sure if the risk lessens as time goes on after stopping. I’m going to try Evenity i believe to build my bones back up. Then not sure. I hope for the best for you. It’s a hard decision.

I definitely will not risk getting those fractures. In order to have this molar extracted, the endocrinologist said it is okay to go 7 months between injections (and as you unfortunately have shown the fractures can happen as early as 2 months after stopping). Sorry that you had this experience.
Unfortunately, due to G.I. issues, Fosamax is contraindicated. So it's either Prolia or Reclast for me at this point. (Unless endocrinologist suggests otherwise). I really dont like any of the osteoporosis drugs.
Thanks for sharing.
