Prolia iv
Hi all, have recently been changed from Tamoxifen to arimidex because of ongoing gynae issues. My gp suggested I have a bone density scan as a baseline. Turns out I already have osteoporosis in lumbar...

@"Michele B" at the end of my chemo treatment end of 2015 I had a bone density scan which showed I had osteoporosis in my neck and lower back. I've been on Prolia injections for 3 yrs every 6 months, they have made an incredible difference!!! I cannot recommend it enough. The injection is not a big deal, I do however feel a bit off for a day or so, sort of paining throughout, but that's it. I am no longer osteoporotic :) Im due to have my last one around now. There is another little added benefit, this combined with an AI adds extra protection to a recurrence!!!! go figure, they dont quite know why but it does :)
There is however a criteria, if you havent had a cracked rib or fracture of any sort and are under 70 you will have to pay. It costs me a few hundred dollars but my extras NIB covers some of it. We tried challenging it but I was late 40's when I started and unless you fit the criteria it will be out of pocket.
I havent heard of it as an IV??? the injection is super easy as I said and only every 6 months.
