My doctor said I needed to start Prolia injections - said it prevents osteoporosis in people who do not have it yet and I needed to get started right away because at my age I will get it soon. She had tried to get me to start the injections at least 4 times before and I said no every time. She had just given me some very bad news from a test I had the week before which she made sound like a death sentence. She said there was nothing she could do to help me. I went numb. Then she started talking about Prolia - works great, only mild side effects that most people don't get. She did not tell me once you start it you cannot stop. She did not ask me any questions or tell me I should not get the shot if I am having dental work - I was part way through getting two crowns. She has been our family doctor for a long time. She was a good doctor who cared about her patients but now she only cares about money (she is getting paid by Amgen). I trusted her but I don't trust her anymore. Needless to say, I am looking for a new doctor. I am not going to get another Prolia shot.
