Struggling with making an osteoporosis treatment decision

Has anyone had a kidney transplant and taken any medication for osteo? Had an appoint with dr and he wanted to put me on Prolia which scares the dickens out of me because of the anti rejection medication I am taking on top of the already side effects I am experiencing. I hope side effects lesson up.
I understand people who have had a kidney transplant are faced with compound side effects. In 2023 It was my hope there would be a safe medication for osteoporosis for post kidney transplant or other. transplants. My diet is excellent I walk with weights on ankles and hips for at least an hour at least 3x weeks, take Vit D 7K. have normal weight and my kidneys are working with normal GFR (filtration rate ) numbers. Any suggestions? I am 73 years old, have no heart issues, normal weight for my height and age. Thank you.

@yani2023 there are several medications that are possible, depending on how significant your bone loss is. Did you see an endocrinologist?
With the added complication of immune suppressants after kidney transplant, I would try to see an endocrinologist - maybe in the same hospital system that you had your kidney transplant.
