I am sorry you did not research this drug before beginning your regime. You would find that the pain you are experiencing IS one of the many side effects of Prolia. I will NOT take this and am doing my own thing with Calcium, Collagen, Circumen and plus other suppliments. I insisted on a bone density test after one year instead of two and my numbers had lowered. My personal goal is to get to osteopenia - one step below Osteoporosis. Because I am in the Winter of my live I am not afraid of the radiation as it is the only time I have it. A nurse practiceioner is not qualified to answer your questions. An Endocrinologist should be. Also look up exercises to increase your strength. Walking is good as is light weights and stretching. I do some of this every day with 4 lb bar bells, stretching plastic ties and two tai chi movements. All the best to you and Good Luck, salisbury.

@salisbury2491 @olderdiva12345 12345 you can actually get off Prolia but do it carefully. See an endocrinologist. I also suggest getting Keith MCormick's book "Great Bones." He suggests that rather than go by a standardized protocol to start Relcast 6 months after your last Prolia, individualize it. Get P1NP and CTX blood tests to get the timing right. If too early, Reclast won't work and you will lose bone quickly. Too late and you will also lose bone.

I have been told I can "lock in" gains from other meds with Reclast (or for some, oral alendronate) and at some point take a break from meds or even stop.

My docs don't use Prolia and also say that with my autoimmune issues, it is not a good option.
