Can Prolia be safely and reasonably discontinued?

I saw another doctor yesterday who was very helpful. He said I could get a shot or two or three (Prolia) and continue to be monitored. If my numbers were good he’d do one infusion of Reclast and see how I do off meds. The Reclast perhaps locks in the gain in bone mass.

Be Careful! My Prolia shot was delayed a few weeks (because my doc retired and replacement could not see me right away to approve it) and THREE VERTEBRAE BROKE -- two thoracic, one lumbar. I have been in disabling pain ever since! It has hugely reduced my quality of life as I can no longer travel or even walk about very well without pain or do other things I had been enjoying in retirement. I should add I"m 85 years old and had been quite active until this Prolia debacle! I do not know of other osteoporosis meds have the same issues. And now I have to be back on Prolia but that cow already left the barn. I am also dealing with macular degeneration of the eyes which one doc says is because I am on Prolia and another says it is because I have osteoporosis. These are both "specialists" so go figure.
