Hi @colojeda. Mayo Clinic Connect is a place for members and patients to share their experiences to help offer comfort and potential questions to ask their providers.
I'd like to invite @oretsina, @oceanblues123, @lesnkc, and @carolann01 who all discussed taking Boniva for osteoporosis.
I'd like to also invite @betterbones, @jb123mayo, @ebrezinsky, and @hsum4 who have all discussed taking Prolia.
@colojeda, when your provider decided on Boniva, was there also a discussion about prolia and if you are comfortable sharing, was there a particular reason Boniva was decided upon for you?

I have been on Prolia for at least 8 years or more. I tried Evenity and could not tolerate it. So back on Prolia. I understand it works with your body to maintain a balance of normalcy in osteoclasts and osteoblasts. I also no longer have the swelling at the injection sites from Evenity and the bad back aches from the same drug.

P S Since we are sharing our experiences with you what is your profession and interest in these drugs?

Oretsina here. I changed physicians and the new physician felt that, given that my bone density numbers were fine except for one area with a value of 1.9, an osteoporosis med was not warranted right now. Good news for me because I had extreme muscle soreness in my neck and shoulders when taking the drug. The version of Boniva I took was generic, made in India. I was to take the medication once a month. I took it only once.
