Prolia Problems

On 11/6/12 I received a 60 mg dose of Prolia intravenously . Shortly afterwards ( a couple of days) I had severe diarrhea and flu like symptoms which cleared up in a week or so. THEN the jaw pain took over my life----- It was excruciating. I went for a scan of my jaw and was told that I have osteonecrosis of the jaw. Today, 11/1/13 some of the pain has eased but it is still difficult for me to eat chewy foods and to get a good night's sleep. To cough, sneeze or yawn causes severe pain. I get sharp pain in my ear mostly at night. My family doctor prescribed Alleve twice a day and a narcotic pain killer in between when the pain gets unbearable. I contacted the company (Amgen) and was told they were sorry for my problems but had nothing to reverse the symptoms. It has been nearly a year now since received the ONE IV. The pain and extra expense I have endured is inexcusable. I think Prolia should be removed from the market until there is something that will help those of us who suffer from these side effects. It also makes me mad that the company advertises so blatantly in magazines and on T.V. when the medication causes so much pain to so many people. PLEASE think twice about taking this medication.

Hello, Marie! How are you doing? I am so sorry about what happened to you and thank you for sharing your experience with others to warn them.

You aren't the first person to post about problems from receiving Prolia and I've no doubt you won't be the last.
