Members connected over the difficult decision of choosing osteoporosis medication despite frightening side effects, with many sharing that the risk of further fractures ultimately outweighed their fears of treatment. Several members described their experiences with Prolia, noting that while some tolerated it well with no issues, others faced concerns about long-term risks like femur fractures or dental problems, and one member shared the painful reality of living with multiple compression fractures and a shattered shoulder from delaying treatment. A recurring theme was the encouragement to weigh risks versus benefits carefully, listen to trusted doctors, and take action rather than face the potentially devastating consequences of untreated osteoporosis.
