My course of treatment is ending soon and my endo said that I have to go on something within weeks of that? Doc is saying Prolia, followed by Reclast.
What are your experiences?
Thanks.
Thank you 😊
I was diagnosed via a Dexascan by my GYN. She has since retired, and I would prefer someone who is trained in osteoporosis.
I think there was one great doctor for Osteoporosis, Dr. Darah Morgan. She retired. Everybody else goes by what the pharmaceutical salespeople are pushing. I do have a friend from India who is an MD… read more
I seem to tire more easily. Is this part of having osteoporosis
I think pain makes us tired. I get so tired and depressed at times. Listening to music is helpful
Am going to tell doctor No on taking this, and do more research and take to others who may be using this.
Try Zometa if you can. Not sure how much it helps but it doesn’t seem to have the side effects Prolia does.
I find after my day of housework I am exhausted by 4 pm and ready for bed by 7pm. Anyone experiencing this could u share. Feeling so alone. My spouse gets so tired of me being tired so early in the evening!!

I have osteoporosis,and I am happy to say I have not had any broken bones! My bone density test show my 60 year old bones are like that of an 80+ year old women.However I am in pain every day, my knees,hips
,back and hands hurt the most. But my doctors say there is no pain with osteoporosis until you have a fracture or break. And X-rays have not shown much arthritis. How "much" do I need to have for them to explain the pain I have? Have any of you had pain without fracture or arthritis?
Over the last month I have had an odd occurrence of pain and weakness in my legs. It has happened three times. Suddenly I feel a whoosh of pain in my back that shoots down my legs. Pain subsides relatively quickly however my legs feel very heavy and weak. Makes it difficult to walk and stand. Am wondering if it is all related to my osteoporosis in my spine and hip. Scary when this happens.
I know the feeling. I twisted my knee and was slow to recover .it's hard.
