Anyone with issues with Bisphosphonates lots of mixed messages don’t know what to
I am reading so many different things about the good and bad of Bisphosphonates (Zometa) . I am getting really anxious and just don’t know which way to go. Definitely not going to use Prolia so now ...
Hi @Adri, it's a hard decision.
Has the anastrazole caused the osteopaenia, or was it discovered on baseline testing?
AI's can cause loss of bone density, so if it's been discovered on baseline testing, it needs to be considered.
My bone density was good at the time of my baseline test. 3 years on AI's, and my lumbar spine density took a dive. I'm was in my early 50's. I've now had 3 prolia injections, 6 months apart, with little to no side effects. I have no regrets about choosing to go ahead with them. The risk of becoming osteoporotic and the risks associated with that scared me more than the low risk of complications from the prolia.
However, there are other things you can also do that may help. Have a look for a website: https://theboneclinic.com.au/

Good luck with your decision, whichever way you go
