Prolia prevents the bones from releasing calcium. In this way it causes low serum calcium.

Thanks for the tip. Yes, I've had spasms in my legs and low back twice from the Prolia. I forgot my calcium for 2 days once, when I had too much going on, and the other happened when I inadvertently skipped my calcium, and had stopped taking Prolia after one injection. It was painful and embarrassing as I was in my dentist's waiting room. She gave me some Tylenol and it helped enough for me to drive home. I've had 2 dentists tell me that they see enough osteonecrosis that makes them think it's under reported. I personally know 2 women, in my small world, who've had osteonecrosis. I just keep as positive as I can.
