Prolia use for osteoporosis

Posted by mosheaff @mosheaff, Mar 22 9:22am

I have questions about the use of Prolia. I am a 55 year old woman who has been diagnosed with osteoporosis since I was 39 years old. I have been under the care of a doctor for my condition. My dead scans are very low, in some places like my neck it is a -4 my hips are - 2 . So I have been told I need to be on meds to build stronger bones. Nothing has helped. I did Forteo, then Reclast, tried Envinity but did not like it. Then my doctor talked me into starting Prolia. I did 2 treatments and then I stopped. I did not like how it made my teeth feel and I did not want to take the risk of loosing my teeth. But my doctor said stopping it this soon, I will surely loose my teeth. It has been 16 months since my last dose, I had a Reclast treatment last June. Recently I have had really bad arthritis pain in my neck and knee. I have some stiffness in my hips after sitting for a long time and very sore at night. It hurts to move when I am laying down. My doctor is starting me on a new medication that is like Forteo. It is called Tymlos.
I wanted to know if other people have taken Prolia and stopped and what has your experience been. Or anyone that is has used Prolia. I am
Not sure what to do. I am taking a lot of natural supplements to help as well. I recently started a new natural hormone cream, I take collagen, vitamin D and K with my calcium and have tried some knee patches with natural herbs to help with the pain. Only thing that really helps my pain are the pain meds Decflonac.
Thank you for your comments.

That is a stunning achievement, Janet. I will have to take a second, and perhaps third, look at everything. Its just that a specialist I trust, now retired, wanted to keep me on Atelvia, until some future point, maybe when I got worse. You were treated early and are doing well. Maybe it is just what a specialist knows. My older, retired specialist knew bisphosphates. The younger ones, maybe Prolia. I will give it another look and try to figure out my hesitancy. Thanks so much!
