My Rheumatologist Has Indicated That He Would Like Me To

My rheumatologist has indicated that he would like me to start the Prolia injections due to an increase in my osteoporosis of the spine. I have been on most of the pill forms for years, the last one being the generic actonel (with several "vacations"). I take many vitamins, as well as BP medicine once daily and 81 mg ASA once every other day. I am 72 years old. Take only 2 arthritis strength pills AM, 2 PM and my milk thistle to protect my liver. I have not had a specific consultation with this physician regarding side effects yet. This is because I am new to him as a patient, due to my former rheumatologist having to close his practice due to illness. I am concerned with a drug interaction with my vitamins but also many of the side effects of this injection. What might one expect? I fully realize that every possible side effect known to mankind must be listed on these drugs. What is the percentage of people having side effects? Thank you.
