Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

I have taken both Forteo & Prolia. I have necrosis of the jaw probably from years of Fosomax, Boniva etc. Had my 1 st Prolia injection 6 mos ago & may discontinue d/t significant constipation. Had some back pain in the first month or so. Both of these symptoms are a puzzle to my MD as she has never heard of anyone having these although the Prolia website says these are the two most common reasons people discontinue. All this is very discouraging.

Since I 've been on Prolia, (2 injections, 1 full year) my longstanding irritable bowel-C (constipation) has become quite dreadful. Coincidental? My followup appt is next week, so I will let the endocrinologist know and see what she says. I also noticed that constipation is listed as a common side effect.

DAMN you poor thing. Are you sure you can stop Prolia? Can I suggest a book written by Dr. Lani Simpson: Dr. Lani's No-Nonsense Bone Health Guide : The Truth about Density Testing, Osteoporosis Drugs and Building Bone Quality at Any Age. She knows more about this topic than anyone I have yet to find.
