DEXA scores: mild vs. severe

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.

i can only say since the prolia shot my life as i knew it ended and i was forced to create a new one. i can't say this will happen t you bit i have researched this to the limit and there were more women who had adverse side effects than not. have mine gone away maybe maybe not because the medication i am taking probably helps but the severe pain i experienced was awful.. i would try another approach and maybe your supplements are helping
