Hi Paul,
I'm also a C5/6 quad. I've been getting Prolia for the past 3 yrs and
haven't felt any difference after any injections. It seems to have, at
least, slowed my bone loss. My SCI was in 1983 so I'm 40 yrs into this. I
started with Fosamax pills around 2000, then moved on to another pill I
can't remember, and then started 5 yrs of annual Reclast infusions. All
those were intended to stop or slow bone loss. The first I tried
that was supposed to actually rebuild bone was a daily, subcutaneous
injection called Forteo, but it caused very unusual crystals to form in my
bladder and clog my catheter within a week or so (I tried it every 2 days
but it just meant 2 weeks without a clog). No reason or similar symptoms
were reported but I tried again after 6-8 months with the same result. So,
they approved one more year of Reclast before starting Prolia 3 yrs ago.
I hope it works well for you!
Best,
Tod
