Has Anyone Experienced Vertebral Fractures And Scoliosis?
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I refused bone meds out of fear of side effects and have suffered four vertebral fractures and scoliosis. I am miserable and now my oncologist says they probably can’t be fixed by Kyphoplasty because I have discs involved. But I need an MRI and to see a neurosurgeon. I’ve been in a recliner for seven months and I feel my life is over. Can anyone relate or help me?

Is It Safe To Be On Prolia For Years?
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've been on Prolia for about 5 years. I was told by a Naturopathic doctor that the longer a person is on Prolia, the more likely you will get a fracture in thigh bone that can be devastating. I'm not sure who to listen to. She also said you should take a Prolia holiday for an extended period of time, so the bones don't turn to be porcelain-like. She based this on the latest studies on Prolia. Any thoughts?
