I've had severe osteoporosis for over 5 years. My understanding, from the doctor I see, is that you start by taking Fosamax type meds and would not start on Prolia unless Fosamax failed io help. I guess I wouldn't take Prolia if I had not sufferd any fractures and not tried a med. with less side effects first.

I have issues with my stomach and three compression fractures in my spine plus I’m 77. Maybe that’s why Prolia was the choice?
