Sara,
I just Googled to find the doctor. Prolix can lower your high calcium, but it also has some serious side effects. One of the side effects is back pain 34%. I just looked them up and like most drugs they are scary. I would rather take supplements. It could be you weren’t taking enough or the brand wasn’t effective. I was taking calcium when I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. I wasn’t taking D3 & K2 or Vitamin A with it. I just started taking more K2 since it tells the calcium to go to the bones. I have since learned that I should be taking Vitamin A with it.

How'd you find an Orthopedic Oncologist? (Actually I have seen one, who was awesome but was a knee specialist and I think I need a spine specialist - to learn the real status of my situation.). I was on Zometa while I was in treatment for MM and now do Prolia quarterly. I had Zometa before I knew what it was for - but I had pretty severe hypercalcemia when I was diagnosed for MM complete with brain fog. I'm also doing the Calcium and Magnesium and D3. Funny I was taking all of that and K2 when I was diagnosed.

Hi Sara,
I started by seeing a Rheumatologist in 2019, who wanted me to start taking Zometa for my osteoporosis, which then was -3.4. I refused because of the serious side effects like osteonecrosis. I get a lot of dental work done, I don’t need more problems. Instead, I started taking 1200mg of Calcium & Magnesium, D3 & K2. It’s working. You can only take Zometa for a short time but the effects of it lasts for years. I had an appointment with a Oncology Orthopaedic doctor who prescribed physical therapy.
