Prolia impact on implants

Posted by nanala @nanala, May 13 6:42pm

I have advanced osteoporosis.
In the past two months I have broken my L1 and have been told that I need to be on Prolia. I have had extensive dental work. I am a nervous wreck.
I would appreciate anyone sharing their experience with Prolia. My doctor said not taking an aggressive approach will increase my probability of ending up in a wheelchair.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Is your dental work already completed or is it something you have yet to do?

Have you been on any other osteoporosis meds yet? Is your provider your PCP or an endocrinologist or rheumatologist and are they giving you info about osteoporosis meds sequencing? Please make sure that you are doing your own research on osteoporosis and the current meds available. This group is such a a rich source of experience and information. Also check out you tube videos from OsteoBoston. You are not alone. So many others are on the path to figure out what is best for them. Hang in there

I am in a similar situation, and am using Tymlos to increase my bone density before getting my hip replaced. My bone density scores are in the -4 to -5 range. My understanding is that you get a better result using the anabolic treatments, Forteo, Tymlos, and Evenity, first before using a medication that just blocks reabsorption of bone. Once you have taken Prolia, the other options may not work as well.
