What's best for ostoepenia: LIFTMORE Study-type exercises, prolia, zometa, or something else?I have mild osteopenia. The oncologist offered Prolia but it has a 2.7/10 rating on webmd and drugs.com. Zometa has a 4.8/10 rating. Most people gave 1/10 ratings for Prolia. Zometa wasn't much better. I

Hi All, I have severe osteoporosis in my spine (-3.6 L1-L4) but never had a fracture, thankfully. I have exhausted my use of Fosamax after 10 years of use (2003 - 2013) and I had 1 Prolia injection about 5 years ago and had dreadful, crippling side effects so never had another. My endo has now prescribed

Please share your experience with Prolia and CKD level 3 or 4. A Primary Doctor is recommending it.

one month ago had surgery Tlift, Plift plus 4 pedical screws and two Rods to stablize L4 L5 vertebrae. I am due a dexiscan now since two years prior was the last one; but can delay until I fully recover. I am told; for the bone to properly fuse the L4 L5 can take up to 6 to 9 months for the new bone

Hi - I've had 4 shots of prolia over the past 2 years, due for my 5th in April. The prolia has helped my dexa numbers, but not significantly. I've developed many side effects, including dental issues/needed a tooth extracted, and I would like to stop prolia. I understand that I will need to transition

Iv been having Prolia injections next will be my 4th.Has anybody been on this injection and made them feel anxious and tired. I used to play crown green bowls but had to stop. I'm feeling isolated not going out and miss all the company. It's good to read other people's stories. I must overcome this

How long does it take for Prolia (denosumab) to fully leave your system? That is, as if you had never taken.

I've had osteoporosis for more than 5 years. As far as I know only one vertebral compression fracture from fainting onto a concrete floor. I have had four aclasta infusions in total. My GP is keen on Prolia but I am not. So not sure where to go from here.

Hi everyone, I have asthma and paroxysmal a fib. I’ve been on Flovent HFA for ever and recently the manufacturer is no longer making Flovent. I’ve had to resort to the generic Flovent which I feel it really is not working as the brand Flovent. I’ve been having more asthma exacerbation. I have an appt

Hi everyone, I have paroxysmal a fib and also asthma. I have been on a steroid inhaler for along time ( Flovent HFA ). Recently I have had to resort to the generic Flovent because the manufacturer is no longer making it . I’ve noticed a big difference in my breathing, it’s not working as good as the

I'm new to this group. My mom suffered an L1 fracture 5 years ago, was diagnosed with osteoporosis and put on Reclast injections for 4 years . Her levels were good so they stopped it. After a year, T12 fracture (kyphoplasty surgery scheduled next week) Now they are suggesting 1 of 3 options -- Forteo

I'm very puzzled as to why here in Ireland (maybe same in UK & elsewhere) GPs do not tend to prescribe HRT as a treatment for osteoporosis.At age 53 & based only on result of dexa scan my GP put me on Prolia. That was 3 years ago. In the last 6 months & on my own investigations I have spoken with 3

I recently - this morning - posted about the drug Denosumab used for treating osteoporosis, and have received a reply that the drug is also known as Prolia. So if anybody has had any experience of this drug I would be happy to know of it - side effects, usefulness etc. I’m shortly to have my final injection

I said in an earlier post that I would write about my experiences with the various health professionals I have come across in my PMR "journey". I was diagnosed April 24 by a private consultant, put on steroids and Actemera for about 6 weeks. Was told to reduce by 2.5mg every two weeks! In my ignorance

This is my 5th year on Fosamax. I will be 70 this month.My DEXA scores have improved. Total lumbar spine -2.1, left forearm -2.3 and femoral neck -2.0. However, my rheumatologist is telling me I am still at risk for fracture and is recommending towards the end of this year that I start Prolia. I do

I am due for my second prolia shot in March 2025. No pain from my osteoporosis. No significant pain from shot. Skin on chest rash, itchy skin after shot for about a month. Some achy joints. More headaches. I have read on here that if you stop after 1st shot not as bad rebound. I take pilates class

My endo put me on Prolia because I’ve been on prednisone for so long and I have osteopenia. 13 days after my second shot, which I get every six months, I came down with a mild case of shingles. I was vaccinated for it last year. It is a very mild case. I had a video appointment with my regular

I took a course of Foxamax for about 10 years from 2003 - 2013 without any side effects. Had no meds until 2020 when I had 1 Prolia injection which gave me horrible muscle/joint pain. I'm now in severe osteoporosis with spine at -3.6 and hips just into osteoporosis and my GP has suggested I restart Fosamax

I had my first Prolia injection on 21 October. It made my osteoarthritis hugely worse - especially the OA pain that was so bad that I reached for co-dydramol.. that constipated me, which in turn led to a probable partial bowel obstruction. I also developed an UTI. I feel stuck between a rock and

hello. I’ve recently had a prolia injection and I read the leaflet and one of the more common side effects are headaches. I have had a headache daily for the past month…. has anyone suffered this particular side effect? And was it an initial headache or long term? Thank you for your kind attention.
