Hi, danboys. Thank you for your reply. Please see my post to windyshores below.

@danboys I think there is concern that risks of atypical fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw if you use Prolia for years. This is because it suppresses turnover. Apparently it hasn't yet been studied past 10 years but I noted this article did mention taking it "for life."

I really like the info on melioguide.com, run by Margaret Martin, who also provides info on exercises on her site.

"Key Takeaways on Prolia
Here is an executive summary of the key points made in this Prolia article.
Consult with your physician when and if you should take Prolia injections. Have a conversation with your physician about Prolia. You can use the talking points listed the section below entitled, Prolia and Your Doctor.
A key question patients struggle with is how long can you take Prolia? If you start Prolia injections, you should plan on being on the treatment for life. Discontinuing Prolia usage (without going onto another pharmaceutical to maintain the gains you made) could have serious, irreversible side effects. These side effects include multiple vertebral compression fractures and a lowering of your bone mineral density.
You should work with your physician on an exit plan if you decide to stop using Prolia. Keep in mind that the medical community is still working on the most appropriate and safe way to discontinue Prolia. I discuss these in detail in this article.
If you are at a high risk of osteoporosis fracture and your physician advises Prolia injections, you should consider following her or his advice.
Prolia need not be the treatment of choice if your diagnosis places you in a low or moderate fracture risk category. The right combination of exercise and good nutrition can help you to stay (or move you into) the low risk fracture risk category. With the support of your physician, you should try to delay Prolia injections.
Prolia injection side effects can happen. However, both Dr. Adachi and Amgen state that serious side effects are rare. Dr. Adachi’s experience is that most side effects last a short time (less than 3 months), and many Prolia side effects can be treated and reversed."
