@tikigod18 Hello: Thank you for sharing this terrifying experience. I am glad that your friend's wife is getting better now day by day and glad for her that she only ever had the one injection. I have been on Prolia for two + years and due a 5th shot in March. Because of constant neck pain and pain in both shoulders as well as increased pain in my back area where I have a scoliosis I have decided not to go forward with Prolia. I did not know until recently that it had become a drug that was now being recommended to stay on forever. I was offered it when it first came out and was told at that time you could only stay on it for two years. It is only recently that I have seen more and more coming out that there can be a severe rebound effect if you stop using it. I am especially interested in what someone's experience is after being on it for two years or more and then stopping. Best wishes to you and to your friends, Ann.

I was on prolia for 6 years....bone density improved so my Dr. allowed me a drug holiday for 1 year....at the end of that year fracture in lower back, disk problems, joints aching and bone density bit the dust. My immune system also altered. Now specialist suggesting only approach is to continue prolia and start forteo. I am in a quandary as to what to do next. Have found a functional medicine doc and have appt. to see him in couple of weeks. Definitely wish I had never started prolia.
