I was hesitant as well. But I had a fracture in my spine so I went for it. No side effect can be as bad as that fracture to me. I didnt have any side effects but 2 sore arms every month for a day or two. That was it. Now Im afraid of the Prolia! But Im going for it. Osteoporosis is no joke. As you know. Im going ahead with the treatments in hopes to get back to a somewhat normal life. A careful one, but as normal as I can. I say to myself every day... just do it - youre a bad ass!
