My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 6 hours ago | Replies (1023)Comment receiving replies
My Doctor put me on the Prolia shot without filling me in on all the side effects .
I didn’t do any research on the shot or I would have never taken it . I just went in and got the shot because my doctor told me that’s what I needed because I had severe osteoporosis. It was done in Doctors office . When my insurance stopped paying for it after 3 years of being on it I had to stop taking it . After 7 months of being off Prolia I have had 3 fractures. Wish I had done some research on it and just not took my Doctors advice

Did your doctor not carefully segue you off the Prolia? Even if you canceled the treatment due to insurance issues, the doctor needed to follow up to make sure you knew about what I think of as Prolia-take-back. No one should ever be insufficiently advised about this, or any, drug. I sometimes wonder what percentage of doctors need to repass medical licensing requirements as I've seen some really bad medicine happen to friends. All of which makes me A Medical Researcher out of Necessity when I face medical decisions.
