For Osteoporosis "Purely awful! This drug should be taken off the market immediately! After one shot, I suffered severe pain in arms, legs, and shoulders. Pretty much all over my body, headaches, muscle aches. To a point, I could not sleep. I wish I had never got this. My doctor has no answer for this pain. I will NOT get another injection of Prolia. After reading all the adverse side effects, I can't believe it is still being prescribed."

For Osteoporosis "I had the first injection in December and had increased back pain, but otherwise it seemed to be okay. I got my second injection in the middle of June, and by the middle of July, I couldn’t get out of bed because of SEVERE back pain. At the same time, I started having severe esophageal pain and nausea. My muscles in my chest hurt. I had and still have severe constipation. My hands hurt all the time and have no strength in them. I’m so tired all the time and becoming depressed. The endocrinologist said she has been giving this drug for 11 years and NONE of her patients have ever had a reaction. The way the procedure (injection, lab one week, see doctor two weeks) made me feel like I was just one more in the assembly line! I’m beginning to think the doctors must get a big kickback from the drug company to be pushing this drug so much. I will not take this drug again, and the endocrinologist said I didn’t need to return to see her! I’m just going to take calcium and D3 and hope for the best."

For Osteoporosis "Horrible drug. I felt my doctor was overbearing and wanted me to take Prolia. I have been miserable ever since. Bone, joint, muscle pain, difficulty walking. Extreme fatigue. Some days I feel like I am actually dying, nausea, bowel problems. My quality of life is definitely worse. Never again. Only took one injection."
