i had 1 peolia shot last november and i can say i am so sorry for doing this i had a severe reaction from it and affter 6 wks of taking it had my forst compression fracture but by the time it was diagnosed there was no surgery required. supposed my 6 month prolia ended in may and in august ii had another compression fracture that is still healing. my dr wanyts me to go on eventity and i am fearful.. the prolia left me with such pain that was constant i was and am still taking prednisone to help although i am weaning off it now. the drs know very little of these drugs and what they can do to a person.. i can honestly say it ruined my life and i know i have severe osteoprosis but i don't know what to do

What kind of severe reaction did you have from the Prolia. And, do you think that drug possibly had some connection to your compression fractures? On my last DEXA scan my total hip was -2.4 and my lumbar spine was -3.2, which my endo Dr thinks is severe. I'm having another scan in two months. I'd like to avoid any of the meds so don't know what to do.

This is why I would be hesitant to go on something like Prolia. I am hoping with monthly infusions of Reclast, if I have a bad reaction, I can stop taking it and recover faster. With Prolia, once it's in your system, you're kind of stuck for a good six months or more. Windyshores on this site went on Tymlos with good success because you can ramp up slowly on the dosage. That's definitely what I would do if I ever have to go on it.
