Can one stop taking prolia after the first shot?
Hello everyone, my mom is 84 year old and she got osteoporosis since 8 years. She took prolia last October. She started to feel a lot of pain in her legs now. I am thinking she shouldn't take the 2nd shot but I am afraid of the consequences. Did anyone here stop the prolia at an early stage!? If so what happened? Thank you

Same thing happened to me. I took Prolia in January. By April, I could not take the pain in my legs and I have a high tolerance for pain. I refused the second shot. I have severe oseoporosis-3.7 in the dexa scan. Doctor said to increase calcium intake, eat more cheese, keep walking and exercising, no bending or lifting- and see what the next test results are. The doctors don't like it, and say it's risky, but the Prolia is dibilating. If the osteoporosis gets worse, I will try another type of injection if I can, but they really all have side effects.
I hope she finds something to help.
I had 1 infection of Prolia in June of ‘25. My next one is scheduled for Dec. 15th.
Within the first 3 days I broke out with a terrible rash on my arms that started to spread to my legs. In just 3 weeks time, I have had 3 rashes!
My teeth hurt, my jaw hurts, my skin itches and my bones really hurt.
I have osteoarthritis, spondoloysis and scoliosis of the spine. My T score is -4.2 for my spine and -4.3 for my hip. I have bone spurs as well.
I detest this drug and am researching other ways to deal with my bone health.
I will be 67 and have always been very active. That all changed after 1 shot.
Prolia is a wicked drug that becomes very difficult to transition off if you have taken more than 1 shot.
I’ve had 1 shot with horrific side effects as well. I’ve read that you can transition off after only 1 shot.
What did you switch to?
How many injections of Prolia have you gotten?
Try ocean essence total bone support. I have a friend who said it worked
Reclasp almost killed me…try ocean essence total bone
I had everything change after one infusion of reclasp
I took one shot of Prolia in January of last year with no problem. My neuropathy got worse with painful leg cramps and burning. I have severe osteoporosis. I refuse to take another shot of any kind. My doctors are not happy, but suggested to increase calcium, eat more cheese and calcium products. I've had no side effects. And when I get hairline fractures they quickly heal. My next dexa scan in in October, so we shall see.
I'm sure your mom will be fine, but always check with the doctors.
I have only had 1 injection.
