Yes, kjs1964, I have had an increase in bone density.
Because the Zertec does help my pain I assume I might have an allergy to the Prolia injection. There is no way I can know that for sure. But since the Zertec helps this might be the case. Even so, I still had pain the first week but much less. The first three injections were very difficult side affects. After the third one I ended up with two weeks of shooting pain in one ear. It did go away….but was miserable for awhile. After the first and second one it was so hard to sleep because of shooting pains in my legs. That lasted for at least three months. Now with the Zertec morning and night for five days I’m so much better. I think maybe science would be able to explain that my body was acting allergic. Others who have posted have done a lot of research I have not done. My comprehension is not clear. I’m just grateful this nurse mentioned it to me. Me bringing this little side note could help someone else who might be experiencing side effects.
I might also mention that I have always had side affects from many medications. As we know everyone does have different reactions to different things. By the way, I have never been tested for allergies. 😊
Good luck and try to be positive. I wish I understood the numbers of the bone density scan. I have been told mine are up and better but no one has ever explained how to figure out what the numbers mean.
