@humphreysbr Hello, I too was on Prolia about 1 year ago and after the first shot the next day I felt like I was run over by a truck. My legs ached and I was so weak. Mind you I am incredibly fit-exercise about 12 hours a week. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis -not horrible readings but there probably because of chemo a few years earlier and age. 75. And my gums bled profusely. Also it is a real concern to have dental work done possible necrosis of the jaw. I know two women where the bone actually was coming through their mouth!!!. Then I was on actonel and that nearly put a hole in my esophagus. To this day I cannot swallow food properly without taking pepcid or other medications. Really disgusting that the medical professionals do not divulge the horrible side effects.

@bocabird Im so sorry to hear you have had so many problems. Doctors know what to prescribe but don't seem to look into the possible side effects or discount the occurrence as rare. My doctor keeps telling me I should go on Prolia! I told him I would never take that or anything else after my horrible experience with Fosomax. They prescribe these meds like they are giving you aspirin. Benign for 99% of population. So I am trying weight training and supplements and hope that’s enough because I refuse these meds and their side effects. Best of luck to you on your health journey!
