Fosamax Was No Good For Me. Doctor Now Suggesting Prolia. Possible Side Effects Are Extremely Concerning To Me. All Opinions Welcome.

I have chosen a natural approach for myself. I am skeptical about Prolia as well. I am working with Stronger Bones Solutions. I would rather try to heal my body naturally by improving diet, find good supplements, do safe exercise, etc., but everyone is different and many of the patients who post here say they’ve had success with pharmaceutical drugs.

Before starting Fosamax I felt fine. About a month after being on the medication I experienced pain in my back, arms, and legs. I felt awful. I decided to stop taking it after 3 months.
Thanks for your input

Hello Kathie,
I agree , stay clear of Fosamax. I've had 7 injections of Prolia = 2 1/2 years, with no side effects whatsoever. I'm an active 86 year old. I believe in balance exercises and I love my Tai Chi classes 3x a week.

I thought Fosamax was considered dangerous and was taken off the market years ago. Maybe I am wrong ?
I'm on Prolia and have no side effects at all. Just watch out for major dental work which can trigger osteonecrosis of the jaw.
