My doctor told me stopping Prolia injection could cause immediate problem such as bone fracture… but you said you have stopped it for three years without any osteoporosis treatments and so far so good? Thanks for the info. Have you had bone density scan lately and how are they?

Just want to add that in the UK strontium was prescribed (in the ranelate form) and so was considered a "med." The US citrate form is not regulated or prescribed but may have the same cardiovascular risks that led the ranelate form to be withdrawn from the EU market. It also makes the DEXA scan results look better than they are because strontium is denser than calcium and replaces it in the bones.
Some supplements have tiny amounts of strontium which I think is misleading. The therapeutic dose is 680mg for osteoporosis.
