Scared To Take First Iv

Briefly, 67 yrs. old with T-scores in the -4 to -4.9 range. I already have 6 compression fractures; 4 of them in the spine. My Rheumatologist insists on Prolia, and my Neurologist is insisting on the Kyphoplasty proceedures. I am virtually bedridden and heavily medicated with 2 types of morphine. After reading all of the negative posts, I have intrepidation when it comes to the IV's. My insurance only covers 2 IV's total. I am a widow and have limited income. Can 2 IV's do any good in restoration of bones? We had to cancel my first IV because of a fresh fracture that occurred just repositioning myself in bed. Now I'm considering cancelling the IV's forever.

Hello,. GrammaKj! How are you feeling?

When you read horror stories online, you should be aware that they are from just a small number of the people that actually try any given treatment. The majority of people don't have any severe problems, so they don't end up hunting up a site such as this to post about their issues and find more information.

Learn more Prolia details here.

The best thing you can do is sit down with your Rheumatologist and discuss your concerns, going over both the pros and cons, that way they can help you make the most informed decision possible on what's best for you.

Is there anything else I can help with?
