Does anyone in this group also have osteoporosis? I have severe osteoporosis which needs to be treated (spine T-score -3.7) and could not tolerate bisphosphonates due to horrendous side effects. I have been offered twice yearly injections of Prolia (denosumab). However, one of the side effects is cellulitis in the lower leg (not the injection site which is normally the abdomen) which as I have lymphoedema is obviously a red flag for me. The only other drug I can take is Strontium Ranelate which has serious side effects. Does anyone have any experience of this or advice?
Thank you
Oh dear that's complicated. I have mild osteoporosis and am on alendronic acid which took me a week or two to get used to, so I am sorry you can't due to side effects. It's awful that sometimes the side effects are worse than the condition!
Thank you for your reply. You are so fortunate to be able to tolerate alendronic acid, that's the best drug to be on.
