Did you orthopedic doctor give you a reason why you shouldn’t go on Prolia? I’ve been recommended to go on it by my endocrinologist and I’m not comfortable with the idea either. Just wondering what bothered your orthopedic doctor about it. I had a bad accident many years ago and my right foot is full of pins and a plate.

I just had my first shot of Prolia. There is a Prolia Support Group on Facebook. If you had even one shot of Prolia, you have to relay off of it. Just don't stop it cold turkey. This Prolia support group consists of people all over the World who have experienced reactions that are not all in the directions that you receive when first getting on Prolia. You just have to decide your risk if you take it. For me, taking Evenity (12 shots) and then Prolia every six months allowed my orthopedic surgeon to fix my burst compression fracture that did not heal. I ended up not being about to stand or walk over 4-5 minutes and could not lift anything. I am having surgery soon. The risk was worth it for me. I have been like this for two years as I could not get surgery due to the Osteoporosis.
My heart doctor(I don’t have heart disease, but have high cholesterol) said that he would never recommend prolia, my dentist said the same.
