@Primek absolutely, as I said Prolia is NOT the only reason for the improvement. I worked with an Exercise Physiologist and am very active.
Prolia (Denosumab)
A twice-a-year injection, denosumab is a monoclonal antibody — a biologic drug. It turns off the stimulus for the type of cells that break down bone, osteoclasts, which decreases bone loss and prevents broken bones.
Pros: It’s highly effective in treating osteoporosis. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF), the drug helped lower new spine fractures by 68 percent and hip fractures by 40 percent. Non-spine fracture incidence fell 20 percent over three years.
Cons: Denosumab could cause your calcium level to go down, so it’s important to get your level checked through a blood test. If you have a low calcium level, called hypocalcemia, you would not take this drug.
There are pros and cons for all treatment, depending on an individual situation as to what suits best, I was really happy with the improvement and wanted to share..
