I am searching for the same answers. I read about the drug and am so concerned about the possible side effects. I am 70 and I just had. DXA scan that is troubling. I am very fit, eat fairly healthy, and exercise daily but my mom- 93 also has a history of fractures. I have 2 that I did not know so had.
I am most concerned with rapid heartbeat as I have PVCs already and risk of skin infection but there are so many side effects listed. Still, I feel Concerned about fractures and my high risk. If you have any feedback to help my decision, I will be so relieved. I feel like I am deciding to inject something into my body with possible health risks but to do nothing is also risky.

I'll definitely update on my mom after every shot... 6 weeks now and no side effects to date:) Good luck with your decision. It is hard.

I have had three prolia injections and I have a history of pvcs and a ventricular arrythmia. My arrythmia is controlled with a betablocker and the prolia has caused no heart rhythm side effects. I chose not to take Forteo which was my endocrinologist's first choice because I had read that Forteo caused rapid heartbeat.
