I've never had back problems, but now no matter what I do my lower back feels like it is about to break. It doesn't matter if I just stand or if I am on my knees planting flowers, washing dishes. By the time evening gets here I am in so much pain. Is this normal for having osteoporosis?

I've been on Prolia for 2 years & just recently had my dexa scan. Results were disappointing & my osteoporosis/osteopenia got worse. Anyone else have this issue on Prolia?
