I am searching for information from individuals who have had kidney transplant. Kidney transplant was Dec 2021, followed with surgery for diverticulosis. Hospitalized three months, later had hernia surgery and now recovering. Would like to seek out anyone who has been treated for osteoporosis post kidney transplant. Because of anti rejection medication extra caution has to be taken when considering treatment.
Had an appoint with one orthopedic dr and automatically he wanted be on Prolia. After reading all side effect I passed on this medication. I understand there is not one perfect medication. Side effect on medication doctors prescribe scared the living day light out of me, yet I understand I have to do some treatment to ward of broken bones. Any information from anyone who has experienced and had a kidney transplant may provide some valuable information. Thank you.

Hi Yani, I'm tagging fellow transplant recipients like @cmael @jolinda @rwalkie @hello1234 @athenalee to join this discussion and to share their experiences with osteoporosis and bone health after transplant.

I hope you also saw @cehunt57's helpful post here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/872419/

Yani, have you talked to your transplant team about preferred medication options for transplant recipients with osteoporosis?
