Does Fosomax actgually work? Does Prolia actually work? Bad side effects for everything. Sometimes I think I want to just do nothing. Because I still work, (have to) still paying for my kids college and 10 more yrs of house payments, etc. My doctor even comments that "sometimes there is breaks in the femur" or other bones" while using this mediciation.

I'd been on Prolia a few years. Wasn't getting better but at least not getting worse
Then doctor retired and new doctor couldn't see me right away
I said I was supposed to get this shot every six months but they said I had to wait for the new doctor.
WEEKS after she told me this, THREE VERTEBRAE FRACTURED!
I have been in pain every single day ever since!
I got the shot however, and now I still have to be on Prolia!
Here is what I have as a result, IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE FRACTURES… read more
