Anyone tried Prolia for osteoporosis? If so, did you have any side effects from it?

I just had my first shot of Prolia 5 days ago and I have had neck, shoulder and arm pain on the side where I was given the injection. I am also exhausted from lack of sleep due to the constant ache. I am really concerned now after reading the other comments. Why are we all treated like guinea pigs? I see so many drugs advertised on TV and a couple of months later there are attorney ads saying they will help you sue the drug companies due to illness or death from using a particular drug. I have been using a heating pad and taking Advil about 3 times per day to try to make myself comfortable. If I was still working (I am retired), I would not feel well enough to go to work. I will be calling my doctor tomorrow to see if there is anything that can be done about these aches and pains from this drug. I will definitely not get the second shot which was due this coming Spring.

I have been receiving Prolia injections for several years with no incident. I do suffer from low sodium and potassium frequently, and I saw a nephrologist who said my kidneys were good. I have a second back surgery in November to extend the rod implanted in my back due to scoliosis. They had to be sure my bones were strong enough for the procedure, and the Prolia has improved my density.

I started with the pill and within 24 hours had every side affect listed and ended up at urgent care. Next I had the Prolia shot December 2015 - no side affects. Unfortunately when I had the second shot in June 2016 within 24 hours I had every side affect and was back at urgent care. Since then I have had recurring affects which are painful and very debilitating- Drs cannot say how long and how often these symptoms will continue- I have since read a lot on this drug and wish I knew then the horrible affects it has had on people. I would have never had the shot but would have opted for a more natural way to combat the onset of osteoporosis - think twice - the sude affects are just too painful and debilitating.

I have been taking the Prolia injections for the last 3 years and I haven't noticed any bad side
effects. I had a bone scan a couple of months ago & was told my bones actually showed improvement in growth. As far as kidneys - I'm not sure they have any harm on kidneys, but I would say no, because I am at stage V kidney disease & none of my doctors have told me to stop it, but have instead told me to continue with it. . . at least until I receive a kidney donor. I hope this helped you a little.

Yes 02/04/2016 initial side effect was metal fast which lasted about 4 days after 2nd month started to get a rash and itching dermatologist is now trying a few things this had been going on for about 2 months and still have 7 weeks until the six months is up. I have never had anything related to skin issues before I suspect Prolia but am waiting for the dermatologist to confirm

My question is .. When this side effect will disappear ?
Is it lasting for ever or it will gone by time
Thx

I had prolia ad i fe el great, everybody is different, for my alendronic ácid was horrible

I have had Prolia shots every six months for 2 years. I have never had any problems except weight gain. After my second bone density scan my doctor prescribed me Atelvia. I just bought it and after reading the side effects I have decided that I will NOT take this pills once a week. I am going to call my doctor and ask him to put me back on prolia, since I didn't have any problems with it.

I did 2 shots after months of suffering from the pills, Fosamax and Boniva, I didn't realize the aches and pains that I was dealing with had to do with Prolia or I would NEVER have gotten a second shot. My indigestion was horrible, I am bloated, my ankles are swollen, My muscles ache, I have eczema, never had that , I can't wear perfume, wore it my whole life. I have constipation. The list goes on and on. My whole quality of life has been affected. To make matters even worse Dr. who gave me the shot says nothing I am feeling is from the shot, When I had a physical with my GP he said he would have never given me this shot. I am almost up to being called to take a 3rd shot, the poor nurse who calls me to set up is not going to be too happy with me.

Prolia is a dangerous drug! I had one injection 3 months ago and have a lot of bad side effects from it! I have severe pain in my neck, shoulders, arms, legs, and back. Also have jaw pain. It hurts to even chew. My CRP inflamation has doubled. I will never have another Prolia injection!

Yes, unpleasant side effects. Swelling of face, extremities, abdomen, labored breathing. Stated slowly and steadily got worse. Being treated with benadryl and diuretics.

Never a problem with boniva. Won't use prolia again.

I've been on Prolia two full years. The first year my T-score for spine went from -3.3 to -2.7, hips maintained at 1.6. The second year T-score for spine registered 2.6 and hips, 1.5.
I have had no side effects other than feeling more strength in my spine for exercise and posture. It's phenomenal.
