Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

So, I am almost 65 and have been on Prolia for 21 months. My hip score was almost as bad as yours. My fear of a hip fracture and loss of independence (I know someone who never got out of her wheelchair), outweighed my fear of Prolia. (I have posted on this blog before but one more time, my hip score improved by 6.5 % and spine by just under 12% after 1 year.

I have been on Prolia with very good results T score wise, but fell and fractured my foot in the winter and it took seven months to heal. My doctor is now putting me on Tymlos to build bone before resuming Prolia in the future (Prolia, my doctor told me inhibits healing if you fracture). I have opted for medication as the thought of losing my independence again is very undesirable, although my husband was helpful😊. Good luck in everyone’s journey
