Has anyone taken Prolia for osteopenia. My doctor wants me to get an okay from dentist but when I look up reviews it’s mostly negative and pain and broken bones after taken the injection.

It's completely understandable to feel concerned about potential side effects when considering any new medication, especially when reading mixed reviews online. Many community members have shared similar worries about bone health treatments, and it's encouraging that your doctor is taking a thorough approach by recommending a dental consultation first. Consider discussing your specific concerns with both your doctor and dentist - they can provide personalized guidance based on your individual health situation and help you weigh the benefits and risks together.

I take Prolia every 4 weeks and I feel great! My first bone strengthening med was Zometa and it was a nightmare - my kidneys were shot and I had terrible joint pains. Prolia was a Godsend!
