Donna, your story is similar to mine. However, after the first six months and pain lessening as I got closer to needing the second injection I talked myself into getting the second injection because I did think I should give the Prolia a chance because I did believe it could help my bones. So after the second injection the leg pain and inflammation did come back. I concentrated on stretching and trying to eat less. Although none of that took away pain it helped getting through it. I now have less pain because I’m at month four before needing the third injection. I wish I knew if it was helping my bones. Yet I’m told I have to go through this another year before we can compare to another test. When I complain of pain to my endocrinologist she also dismisses it. I’m wondering if it is because of the double edged sword theory? Maybe the pain is a side effect of the bone improving? I honestly don’t know. I don’t think doctors know for sure. I think they just try to allow us to last longer as we age because it is what we want. I get up everyday and try to move around enough to keep me functional. I rest several times a day. I sleep well most nights and just keep plugging along. If this Prolia proves to be helping my bones after another year then I’ll know if it’s worth it. Everyone has a different situation. I’ll just keep trying. Good luck in making your decision. It certainly is not easy.
