Undecided choice of drugs for Osteoporosis

Posted by peace44 @peace44, Oct 10, 2023

I am 80 years old women and have borderline osteoporosis which affects my entire body. My doctor wants me to take Prolia and the Rheumatologist wants me to take Reclast. I’m unhappy with both choices as the side effects are great and I do not tolerate new drugs well. I am very undecided and am considering doing not taking annty drugs for this condition. I have never had a fracture and I’m very active Any opinions or advice.

I gather you don’t want to take any of the osteoporosis drugs.

I chose that path for three years. In the end I had seven fractured vertebrae.

I’m taking Forteo . I have lots of different side effects.

My bones have quit hurting.

Bone pain was worse than muscle pains I get from the medication.

So, I think I’m better off than I was before.

Been on Forteo for six months.
