Prolia Side Effect: Edema

Thank you - It is never-ending. My primary doctor is good, but she also is getting burned out. I understand
I will keep trying
Blessing and have a good day

I think your symptoms are very true. I have been taking it for 3 years. But when I was diagnosed I went to an Endocrinologist not only for a 2nd opinion but to establish for ongoing treatment. I am a retired RN, worked 49 years and observed many drug reactions that occur after yrs on a drug. My advice listen to your body and find an Endocrinologist to treat your osteoporosis and keep your PCP for other issues.

Same. Drugs.com link. Second sentence reports peripheral edema with Prolia.

Thank you for all the comments. This forum has continued to help many. At my fourth Prolia injection a kind nurse said, “ I’ve heard from some people that taking a Zertec allergy medication once every twelve hours for five days sometimes helps with pain.” I left that day thinking that is too easy not to give it a try. I take Zertec allergy medicine anyway. For five days I took Zertec in the morning and before bedtime. As strange as it might seem my pain was much less than previous injections. I thought it just a coincidence. So after my fifth injection a couple of weeks ago I paid close attention and took the Zertec twice a day. As stated in my previous post I was in lots of burning pain at first. Especially at night. Then suddenly about the fifth or sixth day everything got a little better. Now I’m realizing maybe there is something to this allergy thing. I wonder if it would work for others? Which is why I’m posting this morning. I hope someone else with pain after Prolia will give this a try. It may not be a complete fix but I’ll take any help I can get from pain. I’m now going to try to cut back on Tylenol. I take so much I worry about it. I’m no longer taking extra Zyrtec but am taking one in the morning. Been feeling less pain and moving a lot better. Hopefully it will continue. 😊

What Zyrtec dosage do you take per pill?

I had my first Prolia I he ton two weeks ago. The nurse said I could expect some tiredness for a few days, but nothing more. Within a day every joint in my entire body ached, I was nauseous, my ankles were swelling, and I had a headache. Although I am out and about, I feel terrible and have been told these side effects could last for weeks. I will not have another injection.
