I’ve had osteoporosis for a while and now have a parathyroid adenoma. Started prolia and md says not a great candidate for surgery. Have seen surgery done under twilight sedation.

Good idea. Just found out about adenoma so think I’ll wait awhile. Best wishes to you.

Hello @soulsign
I'm sorry to hear that you are not considered a good candidate for parathyroid surgery. I have that problem as well. I have a paralyzed vocal cord and the risk of causing a problem to the other vocal cord makes it a more tenuous procedure.
Have you contacted a large medical facility to see if they have the medical staff to perform the surgery? I'm thinking of a university medical school or a facility like Mayo Clinic.
