I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis for 5 years now t scores -4:3 and -3:7. I was not happy to take alendronic acid as I have gut problems and tend to be allergic to lots of things so have managed to keep t scores same for 5 years with diet supplements and exercise. However in last scan there was vertebral wedging so consultant wants me to take Denosumab injections . I almost agreed then looked up side effects and have decided not to-i have another appointment at end of month with the consultant - not sure what I can say to her any suggestions for alternatives/ experience of Denosumab?

    I have just come off the Alendronic Acid and am awaiting the results of a scan before a decision is made about proceeding with any other treatment recommendations.  I'll keep you updated.
