Prolia Side Effects (Page 146) (Top voted first)

I would like to know of any side effects others may have experienced after receiving Prolia infusions. Up to now I have none.

Poodle (# 2401) --

Actually, poodle, it was an oral surgeon who did the bone graft and will also do the implant. It will be my dentist who does the crown. I have had a implant done before when I had a back molar pulled (also due to infection) and the same oral surgeon did the implant. Luckily I didn't need a bone graft. She is one of the top in Toronto. I was most interested in taking magnesium for muscles as I suffer terribly from upper back and shoulder pain but magnesium gives me terrible cramps and diarrhea. Mind you, in Toronto we have had a tragedy of boggling proportions where 10 people were run down and killed by a van on out sidewalks just 10 minutes from us so all my muscles have been especially tensed up. Is there any magnesium that doesn't cause bowel problems?

It must be so stressful for you.

Regarding magnesium. For me, Mag. L Threonate seems to have less GI effects.
Also, taking Mag.with Calcium can help.

I feel so bad for you. Please know the same happened with my dad. 1 shot and so sick starting 2 days later and he never recovered. He died 8 months after the 1 and only injection. No one would listen to me before he was taken to get the shot, they refuse to realize it to this day and simply get irate at me if I mention it. He never had cancer, had never been diagnosed in previous years with osteoporosis and was 81 years old when the goof ball doctor prescribed this to my poor dad. Unfortunately, my mom and brother refused to read the info I found before my mom took him to get the shot and it was a horrible experience. 81 yr old man and get prescribed this to start fighting osteoporosis is absolutely absurd on ANY doctor's part. I'm still sick in my heart about the struggle he went thru after getting this poison. It was a slow death!

my mother was a dialysis patient and received a kidney from a living donor family member. she had to wait a year for the transplant because there was no ok available. When my mother was weakened by the prolia and was paralyzed, they transplanted her and removed the kidney from the healthy family member. my mother eventually died. they have experimented with her to see if a dialysis patient stage 5 does not urinate and almost does not drink what the consequences are

Sorry to hear this. My mother was also dialysis and the specialist gave her this horrible drug. After the kidney transplantation, she died. She had osteoporosis. I miss her every day.

While on Prolia my normally good Cholesterol numbers went up, now 16 months after my last shot it is still up. My Dr. and I have a disagreement over wether or not I should take meds. Naturally, I am opposed to taking meds.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you solve it?

Re: Judy (# 2417)

It was not fun in the least. My mouth is small and narrow like all of me is so he had a difficult time getting to the far back two teeth and there were a total of 4 castings. Also had to use a 'tray' that is for children. Two were done in the in different colors and another of the bottom of a different color and finally a teal blue with purple where the implants go in. Everything was a different color so I guess it's so the lab knows which is top, bottom and bottom where the implants go and how large to make the crown. It felt a little weird to have the tiny caps on them unscrewed for the castings with a long post screwed on and then the long posts unscrewed and tiny caps then screwed back on again. They will be ready the first week in June. Not painful except for his fingers pressing my front teeth into my lip and then, of all times, I got a leg cramp and had to stand up and walk a little to get rid of it. I'm currently out of Magnesium. YIKES! Yours will be so much better right in the front. Just expect more than one casting. I have not had a casting like those before and it's a new material they squirt into the metal trays in your mouth. It hardens when removed from the mouth. The final one of blue and purple had to be left in for exactly 4 minutes on the dot. I quite imagine you have the exact same technology as we do. Price tag was staggering ($3700.00) and he wanted it all paid that same day so thankfully he takes credit cards. Front teeth are probably expensive too so be prepared. Be well~

Re: Poodle (# 2420)

Oh Poodle, sounds like a nightmare....what you've been through. From what I understand you're having both the implant and crown done at the same time? In my case once the bone graft has taken I then go back to the oral surgeon for the actual implant and once it is firmly imbedded I then get the crown. The costs for me, excluding the crown, is $5500. All for one front tooth. (That does include the graft which was done under sedation as I will also be having when the implant is put in) I'm a big chicken when it comes to dealing with any pain in my mouth! Besides its a great way to catch up on my sleep! I really think all of us who have had implants due to the effects of taking Prolia should, en masse, send our bills to Enron. Bombard them, ad nauseum ....maybe they'll get the picture of how this drug has not only affected our health but also our pocketbooks! Actually it was my dentist who suggested this! When I phoned the company and complained, they said it was the first complaint they'd had! Take care Poodle and go out when you get your new crowns have a juicy steak! Enjoy every chewable!!

Judy (# 2421) --No, my implants were put in a year ago in May and they had to do a lot of bone grafting. Now, a year later, I am finally getting the crowns put on and they will be ready to put in on June 13. Be well, Pood

Poodle (# 2405) --Lizzy -- after more searching on the net other people have had this exact same problem with Prolia. I saw 3 separate cases so you are far from alone. I could not remember which thread you were on here and finally found you. Be well~Pood

Re: Linda (# 2425)

Linda, I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say its not true. if you're referring to my calling Amgen, I live in Canada so I'm assuming it was the Canadian division I was speaking to.

Re: Poodle (# 2423)

thanks Pood. Guess i misunderstood. My bone graft was in February so I guess I have some time to wait before the final result! Were any of your teeth in the front? I'm having to wear a "flipper" which is most uncomfortable. When I finally get my new crown I'm going to have a funeral and bury the annoying appliance!!!

I called Amgen and I live in Arkansas and they told me that no one had complained about dental problems. I knew that wasn’t true. I don’t know anything about Canada drug companies.

Re: prissymt (# 2418)

Are you sure it is shingles because Prolia causes two different skin problems -- one is what most people write about here and there is another with small blue and red spots? It says if you get the blue and red spots, get to your Dr. immediately. To get Shingles one had to have ChickenPox and singles attack nerves. A friend of mine that is a diabetic doing home dialysis got Shingles very close to her eye and the Docs were really worried about it going into her eye. Also depending on your age would be if you had the vaccine for it. She did not get it because she was one year under age for the vaccine so she really should have received it. This is really unfortunate. Hopefully the Docs can do more for it now. Be well~

Re: Judy (# 2427)

Hi Judy. Mine were in the far, far back bottom on left hand side. Prolia just ate up the roots to those two but it could not progress because there is a titanium implant next to them and that stopped Prolia in it's tracks. You have had your 'flipper' for quite some time. When did they do the bone graft for you? I had bone graft and implants at the same time. That way everything heals together. You should be well healed 6 months after the bone graft. I just got back from my dentist again today for clearance for knee replacement surgery. He commented on how well I take care of my teeth and told him I really do not. It's the Sonicare I use that keeps them perfect. Be well~
