I did request, but they denied. I'm going to check with my doctor about putting emphasis on the doctor's orders (as someone suggested).

Had one shot of prolia one day later legs were so stiff i could barely walk. Refused the shot when it was time to get it again. Very bad drug in my opinion. Took 4weeks to move normally and still not completely. Normal.

What were your Prolia side effects? How did your doctor react? What did you do to get some relief? Hopefully we can help each other out and provide some ease of pain.

You also have to take vitamin d and make sure they check your levels.

I had my Prolia injection a week ago yesterday. My arm hurts really badly where I got the shot, my spine is the worse pain I have had and I've started to get headaches that don't stop. Of course, the first couple of days were in the bathroom barfing and with diarrhea. Does this get better?????

My mom, 62, diagnosed with oateoporosis, was advised to take Prolia six months after her accident. She had a bad fall in the bathroom and had spinal compression (T8-10). She's wearing a brace and is currently taking Strontium Ranelate (2g) and two calcium carbonate tablets per day. Her recovery is slow, she's partly Chinese and is a small woman, about 100lbs. I read through the posts and researched about the drug and got very scared of the side effects experienced by others who had Prolia...I pray you all feel better soon.

My mom has been taking Strontium for a month now, but we did not follow the recommended dose. My consideration was her small body, and taking in too much medicine (specifically a heavy metal) will surely have bad effects. At her first try to take 2g, my mom got very nauseus and weak. She wasn't able to get up for 12hrs after a 7hr sleep, a total of 19hrs of dizziness and the feeling that she wanted to vomit every five minutes. The next night we made everything in half -calcium in the morning and strontium at night. She felt better and was able to move. But still the concern is if it's really helping her to build up bone mass...and until when will she feel pain. I did major changes to her diet: calcium from food, more fiber, no fatty and processed food. I hope her bones will heal soon.

I am now pretty sure that this problem I have been having with the burning in my legs, back of my thighs tail bone that is preventing me from sitting is from my Prolia shot. I have been to every doctor, chiro, ortho, acupuncture, pain management. yesterday I got a shot in my tail bone which didn't help. I guess I will just have to get use to the pain and learn to live with it. My autho said it is fro a back issue. I didn't have any of this before the Prolia shot. I am using a compound cream which doesn't help t all. So, so sorry I ever took that shot and second guessing whould I have this if I hadn't.

Everyone on Prolia should have an Oral B or SonicCare Easy Clean battery toothbrush (see Amazon). It cleans as well as any hygienist. I use little 'christmas tree' shaped picks to get in between teeth and massage gums well with soda and salt. Also ACT helps keep teeth healthy. It's expensive but if you have Walmart, they have it in their generic brand that is not expensive. This needs to be done 2 times per day. We need to be very proactive with this poison in our bodies.

Its been 18 months since my second injection , just had a fractured tooth removed . Mouth pain continues and especially worse after cleanings or dental work . Still getting skin infections that resemble shingles but my Doc says it is not . Finally just in the last month I have begun to feel better . I am again able to clean my house and have much more energy . Glad I survived this terrible medication to post this information !!!! Good Luck to everyone going thru this nightmare .

It's been about 8 weeks since my injections. I first reported a rash over my Breast and torso, body aches and severe abdominal and joint pain. The last two weeks I begin to notice a drop in my energy, my hips and lower back begin to hurt so severe the doctor placed me on tramadol and muscle relaxers at night. I have suffer from migraines since I was 12, but these headaches were different, dizziness along with extreme nausea while taking the migraine medication that normally works. The last three days I started running fever with frequent urgency to urinate. I ended back in the doctors office and he explained to me these were all side effects of Prolia and that the medication could be weakening my immune system. He prescribed more medication told me to try to stay on top of the infection and fever. I have lost 5 1/2 lbs which am not complaining about, but it truly reminds me of being sick while undergoing chemo. I have spoken to some that have not had any side effects with Prolia, and I questioned my doctor about this, he stated the medication is fairly new data is still being collected. Obviously if your immune system is stronger you will probably have less issues with the injections than those with a weak immune system. I just hope I can overcome these obstacles and my bones get stronger, because surgeries from broken bones are not very fun either??

I have total hip replacement surgery scheduled in about two weeks. I have to go to a cardiologist because my MD doesn't believe me that my problems are from Prolia, even tho they are listed as side effects. The surgeon's office called and wanted to know if I wanted my blood back or donor blood. I told them I wanted nothing to do with my blood and I want donor blood and plasma. They are unable to 'clean' the Prolia out of my blood.

I am so sorry that you are another victim of this devastating drug. How long ago did you have the injection? I had my second one in January. The effects are ongoing. Stiffness and severe pain in my hips and back. Also a blistering rash on my knees and elbows. My primary care Dr. put me on Prednesone. It helps tremendously. I have been slowly lowering the dosage, trying to wean myself off it. Last time I tried the rash came back. Huge elbow blisters. Back on the steroids again. 10mg seems to be just enough to stop the symptoms. I can't stay on Prednesone much longer because itis really bad for the osteoporosis.
You might consider checking with your Dr. steroids may also work for you too.
BTW I am 70 years old, female with a thin build and have been diagnosed with severe osteoporosis. I have had two Prolia shots. My bone density results in April 2015 were negative 2% from the same time last year. I had side effects from the first shot but didn't realize that the shot had caused them. They didn't start until three weeks later. I thought I had hurt myself somehow.
