Is Anyone Else Taking Prolia With Side Effects?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Antioch, IL

I started Prolia two years ago because Actonel wasn’t working. I now have recurring sciatica, which is a side effect of Prolia. A year ago I got cortisone injection for pain.

I also take medicine for acid reflux which counteracts bone density medicine.

A MyOsteoTeam Member

I have just discontinued my prolia twice a year injections because of the sixe effects..Insomnia, very itchy skin, unable to walk very far. Am hoping this will end soon

Anyone On Here Tried The Silver Sneakers Exercise Program? Is It Sufficient For Osteoporosis Exercise?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Oak Hill, WV

In addition to osteoporosis, I have severe osteoarthritis in hips, knees, and feet. This is seriously impairing my ability to do many of the recommended exercises. I know I need to exercise, just seeking a program that I can do and not cause significantly more pain but still benefit from. This is all quite a balancing act!

A MyOsteoTeam Member

I attend a community center where I attend 4 hours of silver sneakers exercise weekly. Excellent. Aerobics, line dancing, kick boxing. In summer, We do aquatic aerobics in outdoor pool. Love it!
