Yes, it is Prolia twice per year. I had the first one this month. I have digestive issues and for me Prolia was a good choice. However, I have to watch my teeth. On the Evenity, I had to have a tooth removed under the gum as a crown broke off. I had a total hip replacement years ago, but I didn't want to take the chance of a gum infection going to my hip. I had a broken jaw years ago, so I know what happens when if /when they have to replace a jaw joint. The whole point of treating my Osteoporosis was that I have a back injury from a fall that did not heal and I have needed surgery to fix it. I can't walk or stand for over four minutes at a time. My surgery is scheduled for the end of next month. You just have to weigh your risks and decide what to do. If I had no broken bones, I probably would have stayed away from some of the meds. But, after having a Burst Compression Fracture from falling on my knees, I don't want to do this again. I hope you get better also.

Yes, I took my first Prolia shot this month. I had wished there was another drug that I could have used but they all seem to have something going on with each one. I am supposed to get two shots per year. There are a lot of warnings but they all may not happen to you. I had broken bones in my back that needed fixing from two years ago and the surgeon had told me that I had needed to strengthen my bones first. I will be having surgery at the end of next month. My regular doctor had prescribed the Evenity but they could not give the shot in their office. I had to go to an Oncology/Hematology Group with the same hospital organization.
