My understanding is that Teriparatide goes through the kidneys. Prolia does not. I am on Prolia. (3 injections) This last injection I had a little muscle pain in my left shoulder for a few days after the injection but I don't know if that was from the Prolia or weights. After one year of Prolia, I gained .5 in my spine! (-4.1 to -3.6). I have two neighbors on Prolia that have no side effects. They have not had such remarkable results. I eat prunes, take collagen and get all my calcium from food and milk. I also take 200 mcg of K2 Mk7.
@yani2023 glad you have an endo who knows kidney transplant issues.
Teriparatide is Forteo. Both Forteo and Tymlos work through the parathyroid pathway. I chose Tymlos due to the adjustable dose.
