Avoided that one three years ago, but couldn't get my 77-yr old Sis-in-law to reject her doc's Rx for bone density.

She's been in great shape (active gym) until this year. Her knees now have such painful arthritis she avoids stairs and long walks.

Seems like geriatric doctors' general reckoning of risks is skewed, doesn't it?

Wife was taking Prolia for maybe 5-6 years. She suffered broken bones in both hands due to falls in the last 2 years (not because she is prone to falling) and this year has suffered 6 vertebrae fractures in her back which have been very painful.

So, I am asking myself and her if this crap was helping to create strong bones. More like brittle bones...yes maybe denser according to the bone scan, but not stronger. Damn them doctors to HELL. They are USELESS.
