Prolia treatment for osteoporosis: What is your experience?

I always talk to a pharmacist about side effects. They know a lot more than doctors on this topic.

I think perhaps people are beating around the bush- I know I am. The most effective way to treat and reverse side effects from Prolia may be to stop Prolia. I don't think anyone knows the exact cause of the pain, aside from possible growth pain. I am sure that Advil and Tylenol aren't doing it for you and anything stronger is not a good idea long term. Prednisone is bad for bones so out of the question.

I would be curious to see if anyone else has an answer but to me it is clear: switch meds. That is why there has been discussion on that. Hope you feel better!
ps Tymlos and Forteo do not cause atypical fractures or osteonecrosis of the jaw because they do not suppress turnover

I did stop Prolia and received my first infusion of Reclast on March 23rd. I have had some muscle soreness, joint pain and bone pain in my fingers, but so far these side effects are mild compare to what I experienced with my second injection of Prolia. Because I have COPD my doctor said I should get the booster (fourth Vaccine) in June, so that I will have added protection over the Summer. I believe in the vaccines so I want to get it, I am just very worried that I will have the same result when I got the booster after my second Prolia injection. My symptoms were so very severe that I was in severe pain for months. The doctor said the Booster exacerbated the severe side effects I had from the Prolia. Has anyone had the booster after Reclast infusion who was having mild side effects and had positive results? ie. no drastic increase in duration and intensity of pain.
I am wishing all of you good experience with your choice of treatment.
thank you
