Struggling with making an osteoporosis treatment decision
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 5 days ago | Replies (644)Comment receiving replies
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.

I hope all goes well with you taking Prolia. Best of Luck to you... By chance did doctor discuss how long your therapy with Prolia would be? Months or years? Which medication is prescribed after Prolia is stop if your numbers improve? Thanks
How do you take collagen ? What brand?

@pami and @yani2023 can you share info on the effects of Forteo (and presumably Tymlos as well) on kidneys? The only info I can find is on raised calcium levels, which can cause kidney stones.
The problem with Prolia is what happens when you stop. My doc won't prescribe it.
