There is good and bad in any medication. You have to do the research and decide what is best for you.

I decided to try Prolia a few years back… at the time they said no one had any side effects from it. That has changed now. Now there is an assortment of side effects.

I have had upper abdominal surgeries and have continued stomach & esophagus problems. One would think an injection would not cause a problem with the stomach. The injection which was in my arm caused my stomach to hurt much like a stomach ulcer. I did report it to my care team at Mayo Clinic. To help with the pain I added Mylanta to my meds for a couple or so so weeks.

I have the numbers from my bone scans and none of the treatments that I have had have significantly helped my numbers any. I just try to eat and exercise the best I can.

You know your body best so no matter what has happened to others it is up to you to decide for yourself.

Interesting. Since I have been on Prolia, my pre-existing g.i. issues (which were definitely manageable) have worsened considerably. This upcoming dental procedure may be the opportunity to transition away from Prolia.

@migizii. I would change medications if I was not getting any results and had impacting side effects.
