I will be starting Prolia soon. It is important to get your vitamin levels up. It will help your immune system. I know at least five women taking Prolia and none of those had any problems with it. I decided that any side effects could not be as bad as a broken back.

The main thing you need to be aware of is that if you stop taking it at any point, you need to go straight onto another osteoporosis medication, almost always a bisphosphonate.
Good point! Much of the discussion gets side-tracked into the scary but very rare adverse effects. Very little focuses on the possible "side effects" of not treating osteoporosis -- possible long-term disability or death.
Well a broken back caused by prolia may change your mind.
did your back break because of it? Did you meet someone whose back was broken as a direct result of Prolia? How long were they on Prolia before the back was broken? More information is definitely needed.
No, but I did have a broken leg due to prolia and more spinal compression fractures. I had been on Prolia just a few months. Stopped it and no more broken bones except a few toes. That was in 2017. No more drugs for my advanced osteoporosis. Blessings
I took Fosamax for 6 years AFTER several fractures in spine, feet, fingers. My osteoporosis was caused by extremely elevated PTH (Parathyroid hormones) left untreated for 6 years. By the time I had a parathyroidectomy my PTH levels were well over 3500 (normal is 100). I am a kidney failure patient on long-term dialysis which complicates things. Ive not taken any osteoporosis med since I stopped prolia. HTH BLESSINGS
