Members shared varied experiences with Prolia and other osteoporosis medications, with many reporting side effects like recurring sciatica, hip pain, stooped posture, insomnia, and itchy skin that made daily activities challenging. Several members described switching between treatments (Actonel, Fosamax, Tymlos, infusions) after prior medications failed to improve bone density or caused adverse reactions, with some expressing uncertainty about whether stopping Prolia contributed to spinal fractures or worsening density scores. A recurring theme was the frustration of finding the right treatment path, the toll of multiple fractures and lost height, and the hope that perseverance, lifestyle changes, and community support might help them regain stability.
