I think it is very wise of you to explore every option and to speak with all of your doctors before making a decision. I ended up deciding on Reclast when I decided I would not take Prolia any longer.
Good Luck with making your decision. Honestly, I am so happy for you that you did not get on this Prolia experience where you are taking something you can not stop taking without replacing it with another medication. We are all trying to do what will be the best choice to help us when we are at high risk for fracture. Of course, we do not want to have our bones break. However, I had no idea that I would be in pain all the time and that I was about to start something I could not undo when I started Prolia.
I hope you get help and positive results with whatever you choose.

My reply to Scpartain. I apologize that I did not notice that you had been on Prolia.
Please keep us posted as to what you decide to do. Did you consider Reclast ? I would be interested in why you decided against it. There is no perfect choice, since they all have their problems, but I am thinking perhaps the ultra low dose of estrogen sounds as though it might be the safest choice.
At the very least, it would not cause joint, muscle and bone pain. I wish my doctors had offered me this option.
Let us know how you are doing.
Wishing you the best !

Thanks so much for your insight and kind advice. Reclast also causes MRONJ so that is ruled out since I experienced jaw problems with Prolia. I certainly appreciate your concern and support. I will update on my further treatment and decisions. I know from my mother's experience with a broken hip caused by osteoporosis how important it is to seek medical advice and treatment for this condition.
