You might find out if they'll give you the shots in the abdomen. That seems to be a good place for mine. I'd think the arms and legs would be more painful.
@bern06 would you consider Reclast instead of Prolia? If you go on Prolia you will eventually need it anyway.
Keith McCormick's new book "Great Bones" explains issues with stopping or transitioning off of Prolia, and there is a video on Combined and Sequential Treatment by Dr. Leder at MGH that is also informative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXoz1NeUgg8
I have the impression that being on Prolia for too long is not good for bones. My doc doesn't use it because of the drop off in bone density and increase in fracture risk when stopped. But in the video Dr. Leder says he will sometimes use it for 2-3 years (as I remember, but check). Of course your doctor is your best resource.
