i am not sure what to tell you to take but i can warn you about prolia i had 1 shot and it changed my life forever be careful and make sure you research everything the drs know very little about these medications but yet give out freely. there are some medications that seem better than others but how do you know if your osteoprosis is not severe maybe try supplements and go to someone who can tell you the right ones to take they seem to help

I read about your Prolia experience on another comment page. My DEXA scores have remained consistent since 2017 at -2.4 hip, -2.5 femoral neck and -3.2 lumbar spine. My endo wants me to start Prolia, which I don't want to do. Of course, he minimizes any risk of side effects. I've had no fractures that I know of and am petite at 5'2", 112 lbs. I have my next DEXA in 4 months and am hoping my scores haven't gotten worse. Since 2017, I've been taking New Chapter calcium supplements and collagen powders. I don't do a lot of exercise other than walking.
