Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

I have had three Prolia shots to date. I can't really identify any side effects that I attribute to the Prolia. I am also taking Arimidex (fifteen months now) as follow up treatment for breast cancer, so it's hard to always know where to place the "blame" when something goes out of wack. The Arimidex has the possible side effect of causing or aggravating osteoporosis, which I was diagnosed with right after my breast cancer surgery, when they put me on the follow up drugs. I am doing everything I can to rise victorious over all of this. I'm 60 years old, but in my mind I'm still 35. I am not giving in easily to age or illness.

Hi @leannz, I am 81 and also not giving in easily to age or illness. I am in weekly PT for a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy for 3.5+ years. My therapist writes for me how far to walk each day as I have measured about 95 routes around the retirement campus here. He usually states it as 0,5 miles and I pick what I want to walk that day within the 0.5000 - 5.9999 mile range. One day I wrote down about 10 distances within a range he wanted me to walk and asked him which route did he think I'd chose. Without looking at my paper, he said, "I KNOW you. You'd pick 0.5999999999999." Since August, 2016, I now have walked 100 MILES! I bought a cake at 50 and 100 miles for him and his staff.to celebrate. We have fun together but I work hard to see his smile! @gailfaith.
