A member asked:
Had first dose of prolia when they had found old fractures after persistent lower back pain. is it not advisable to have cortisone injection for pain? it was offered before osteoporosis was diagnosed and now no doctor is ordering it for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cortisone osteoporos: Cortisone wastes (eats up) bone which you do not want over long haul. But for short term may help some things. Discuss with your team.
