Undecided choice of drugs for Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Feb 16 9:58pm | Replies (403)Comment receiving replies
Has anyone had severe bone pain after receiving a Prolia injection? I have been on Prolia for 3 years for osteoporosis. My bone density scan is the best it has been in years. After my last injection, I have really been experiencing lots of back pain where I had extensive surgery for scoliosis. My endocrinologist suggested I may want to switch to Reclast, but I am worried about side effects there. Just wondering if any of you have had back pain after a Prolia injection and how long this could last if this is the proble.

@clemsonbabe This website lists many kinds of pain that can be cause by Prolia. If you ever do decide to stop taking it, be sure to work with your Dr because you must go on another drug (like Fosamax or Reclast) to prevent fractures from Prolia discontinuation. https://www.goodrx.com/prolia/denosumab-prolia-side-effects

@clemsonbabe sorry to hear about your pain. Why switch from Prolia if your scan has shown great results. It is working! I am not a doctor but I am also on Prolia and have not had one side effect. My back really ached a few months ago and my orthopedic doctor took an X-ray of my back. Turns out that arthritis has invaded my back but he said it is the scoliosis in my back that is causing the pain. I was on Reclast and had to switch to Prolia. My doctor stated that you can only take Reclast infusions for a few years but Prolia is for life. Please check to see if arthritis is now in your back. I really don’t think it is the Prolia causing the pain. Good luck!
