Prolia treatment for osteoporosis: What is your experience?

Thank you for your up-date. Yes, definitely, we all want to avoid a broken hip. I am at high risk for fracture without impact for my left hip. I try to walk every day to get my weight bearing exercise and I take Calcium and vitamin D3, but I still worry about my hip. Unfortunately my doctors told me a year ago that Prolia was the best way to protect my hip. We did not anticipate the severe side effects I would experience with Prolia and I certainly did not know that I would experience the difficulty of what to do when I decided to stop taking Prolia. I am continuing to hope that Reclast is the answer for me.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey through this part of our lives !
My best to you !

Hip 123, did you end up continuing Prolia? Did you start something else? How are you doing now? I’m so confused as to how to go forward when in so much pain with Prolia.

My pet peeve is doctors failing to adequately explain a drug completely to a patient. That should always include known side effects and any other considerations with respect to taking that drug. The doctor should certainly have known 'the issues' with transitioning off of Prolia, they're well-publicized. Oh well.
Just a suggestion. If you're not taking vitamin K (preferably K2 to protect arteries from the calcium you're taking), I hope you look into adding it. According to a neurosurgeon friend who treats patients with vertebral injuries, vitamin K2 has an important role in bone health.
