Prolia

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Turlock, CA

Has anyone taken Prolia and stopped? I have not taken it yet tho has been offered to me. Took all other osteo meds but had to quit due to digestive issues. I know the drugs I took caused the acid reflux and gerd issues, 5 yrs of taking them. Then 3 yrs of taking PPI's for the stomach. Which did nothing but harm for the bones. Am now taking nothing except vitamins and supplements and feeling so much better. Hate the thought of taking the Prolia after researching side effects.

A MyOsteoTeam Member

My oncologist told me to take Tums for calcium. I’ve been taking Prolia for 3 years. No side effects but bone density hasn’t gotten better or worse!

A MyOsteoTeam Member

Does Anyone Have Any Proof That Medications Improve Spinal Bone Density Or Strength?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Reading, KS

Have a Dexa T score of -4.2 Two spinal compression fractures plus a more recent wrist break where the end of the arm bone has crumbled away. Also one shoulder joint has been taken out because damage was so bad.

I believe long term use of asthma medications have largely contributed to my osteoporosis. I'm sensitive to medication, am unconvinced from what I have read that medication increases bone density or strength in the spine. My mother suffered necrosis of the jaw due to medications… read more

Springfield, IL

If anyone has had success with an increase in bone density with a natural product please let me know what it was and the company you got it from. The same for if there were specific diet and exercises you did. If they have helped with pain that would be helpful too.
