My Prolia Injection Is A Month Late Due To Corona Virus Lockdown. How Important Is This?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Dublin, IE

I am 76 and have been on different meds for osteoporosis since age 50. Each was changed after 5 years
I have been on Prolia 4.5 years now, and it has been suggested that 5 years is enough, otherwise one can develop rebound fractures. I tolerate it well, have Dexa scans every 2 years and for the first time this particular med has increased my bone density
I have had no fractures, but have lost nearly 2 inches in height.
Should I take steps to have the injection? Dr says there is no rush.
Would… read more

To wait 7 months instead of six between Prolia injections is ok. Beyond that it is not safe. You put yourself at risk for vertebral fractures. There is a warning from Amgen on the Prolia box.

Neck Pain And Headaches With Osteporosis

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Hamilton, NZ

My neck seems to be getting sorer and sorer and the inner noises it makes when I move my head worse and worse - crunch, crackle, crack and like someone walking on a stone pathway. I have a heachache that never ends - day or night - almost feels like a permanent hangover. Does anyone else have this problem?
Doctors are focusing on the compression fractures in my back, sacrum and thigh and my neck is always brushed off ...

I also have this, I was put on imtrex for migraines it helps the pain.

Prolia And High LDL Cholesterol

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Canada, CO

Has anyone on Prolia experienced a significant increase in their LDL numbers? I have always had high cholesterol and was unable to tolerate statins. My cholesterol numbers increased over and above what was already not good after two months on Prolia. The endocrinologist was surprised at this rapid increase and in his report to my family doctor said, "maybe it is caused by Prolia". I am now on Repatha, (another biologic manufactured by Amgen) to lower my cholesterol. I needed to deal with my… read more
