Fearing risks of Prolia

Posted by slr1 @slr1, Jan 6 8:55pm

I am going to my pcp tomorrow morning to discuss whether to start Prolia or Jubbonti after getting dexa scan results showing my osteoporosis has gotten worse. I took Ralaxifene for the last 2 years and it didn't help. I have researched these 2 drugs and have read a ton of bad side effects from patient reviews and I am really nervous to try! After taking Boniva just one time in the past, I felt like I was ran over by a truck for 3 days and I refused to ever take a biphosphate again. I am thinking about not starting a new drug and exercising more. Any input is much appreciated!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

There are lots of comments on this thread, which talk about terrible side effects with Prolia. I suspect that, if you've had problems with Prolia, you're more likely to speak up. I don't in any way want to belittle those comments, but I do want to provide some balance. I've been on Prolia for three years now without problems and with good results. My sister and a friend, who are both physicians, have been on Prolia for much longer than I have. They too have had no side effects and good results.
I hope you will have our same results, if you decide to take it.

I have been on Prolia for about 3 years now and really had bone aches and pains for about 4 months after my first injection. It's been smooth sailing ever since with improvements.

@sungal thank you for this info.
You are so right about all the negative replies. So nice to get a positive one.
