How many days after Prolia injection should I wait before getting DEXA

Posted by pavi @pavi, 1 day ago

I've been getting Prolia injections regularly for the last 2 years and am scheduled to get a DEXA scan. Is there a minimum number of days I should wait between my injection and getting the scan? I was diagnosed with early onset (premenopause) osteopenia and osteoporosis. Started treatment with Fosamax, bone density did not improve or stabilize, next step was Prolia.

@pavi Prolia won't effect the result of the DXA scan in any way. Unless you mean would you gain or lose bone a number of weeks or months after a Prolia injection. But the accuracy of a DXA would not change due to a Prolia shot.
