Prolia DISASTER

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Chicago, IL

I'd been on Prolia a few years. Wasn't getting better but at least not getting worse
Then doctor retired and new doctor couldn't see me right away
I said I was supposed to get this shot every six months but they said I had to wait for the new doctor.
WEEKS after she told me this, THREE VERTEBRAE FRACTURED!
I have been in pain every single day ever since!
I got the shot however, and now I still have to be on Prolia!
Here is what I have as a result, IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE FRACTURES… read more

A MyOsteoTeam Member

The answer? I DON'T KNOW!! The doctors are telling me the same thing -- that I've been on Prolia long enough. And as noted before, Prolia even threatens my eyesight! But I'm afraid that… read more

What Kind Of Results Has Anyone Had With Taking Prolia.

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Tavares, FL

My doctor wants me to take Prolia injections. I have to have root canals completed and wait 3 months before I can start. I know someone who took Prolia and has lost teeth because of it. I'm concerned about that and other possible side effects.

A MyOsteoTeam Member

In my research on prolia, I found that it can increase bone density, but that bone quality is inferior.

Anyone Taking HRT For Their Osteoporosis?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Clearwater, FL

I was on Forteo for 15 months and my spine went from -2.9 to -3.0. My Endocronoglist and I agreed that I was going in the wrong direction. I am 61 and have a rare hormone disease called Kallman's Syndrome. We thought we would try Bonvia, Supplements, and a low dose of HRT. I take Climara Pro patch but only a half a patch a week. The regular does is 1 patch a week so it's a very low dose. I know that there are risks associated with HRT treatment for women my age but I feel that saving my bones… read more

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Florida USA

Everyday I have lower back pain, partly from OA. I am thinking maybe one of those stretchy wrap brace might help. Does anyone use one? I know if I put my hand at my lower back it feels better with some support. Thanks

A MyOsteoTeam Member

@A MyOsteoTeam Member Fractures in the back are very painful. I don't have that, but I have "offended" my lumbar region and am still taking PT. It's not a cure, but it does help. I am not surprised… read more
