My darling wife suffers from osteoporosis and it was suggested she was injected every six months with Denosumab (in place of all the calcium she was taking).

Has anyone any experience of this? If so, please let me know (by PM if you prefer).

I shall speak to our personal doctor to find out if the treatment is available under GESY, as it is quite expensive.

Who suggested it? Is she under the care of a rheumatologist?

It was her orthopaedic surgeon a couple of years ago.
