I have been on Prolia for two years; I have edema in my lower legs and feet. I feel it is from Prolia; I just went to a new doctor, and she said no one has ever reported that. As I was leaving, she told me to find that information. So, I am contacting anyone with information on that side effect.

My mother took Fosamax for over 8 years and still broke her hip. I have friends who have tried the shots and still broken bones. What have you found the most effective treatment for osteoporosis? I am also trying the exercise program by Margaret Martin. I already exercise daily and this helps me focus on a program particular to osteoporosis; including tips on what not to do. I have also heard that your diet is also a factor? Has anyone found this to be true? Thanks so much.

I was told to take vit D 5000 a day for Osteopenia (borderline Osteoporosis). Is it good to take

Suggestions.

My last MRI was in August and there is no bone growth, but the screws are stable. Have not had a new DEXA scan, but due at the end of next year. It has been exactly one year now. Still have some symptoms, but managing.
