Prolia treatment for osteoporosis: What is your experience?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Jul 13 3:27pm | Replies (1246)Comment receiving replies
Hi All. I have been on Prolia for almost 2 years and have severe osteoporosis. I fell and fractured my left hip in April of 2016 and recovered from that. Last August I started experiencing intermittent pain in my left femur which has gotten progressively worse. I am now taking Gabapentin and am going to see a pain specialist. Has anyone else experienced severe pain like this from prolia? I have scoliosis and spinal stenosis and the pain in my lower back has gotten a lot worse since being on prolia.

I fractured my left hip 4 months ago and I am healing well. My doctors want me to go on reclast and I am very conflicted. I have had osteoporosis due to early menopause since my late forties. I took forteo for 2 years in my fifties and that did help. I also have IBS, therefore reclast. I meet with an endocrinologist on Monday and I am sure she will say I should do reclast. I will ask her about prolia. I had no side effects with forteo.

I don't know if its coincidental but my chronic back pain has worsened over the last year. In addition, my arthritis in my hips is also worse. I started Prolia injections one year ago, May 2018. Returning to osteo clinic for f/u bone density and third injection. Will discuss with endocrinologist. Will also see if Prolia has increased my bone density.
