Good Morning! I know each person must make their own choice about medications to use based on their own individual needs. But I feel I must tell you that I used Prolia for Osteoporosis for 3 yrs & now I am dealing with 'death of the jaw bone' or medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw. This jaw bone issue occurred after a dental procedure. I was told that using Prolia for only 3 yrs was not a long enough time period to produce the Prolia jaw problem, & that the dental procedure would be safe. I had previous dental implants prior to using Prolia without any issues, and trusted in the diagnosis given to me. But now, I am dealing with a hole in my jaw which is exposing bone. I am taking daily antibiotics & pain killers. I live with incredible pain & loss of quality of life. It has been 30 days since the dental procedure & the pain is still incredible. I do not know if my jaw will ever heal. I am no longer taking Prolia, & my Ortho Doctor wants me to start on Tymlos. I need to ask my Ortho Doctor if Tymlos will assist in rebuilding my damaged jaw bone? For now I am praying the hole in jaw will eventually heal, so that I can try to get back to living without incredible pain every day.

I'm so sorry you are having such terrible jaw pain. I experienced a similar problem after only one prolia shot. Two months after receiving the prolia treatment, I began having pain in my jaw where I had three implants that had been in place for twenty years. I had oral surgery to remove the implants, but the jaw failed to heal and the bone was exposed, causing terrific pain. I took antibiotics and round the clock pain killers for three months, when suddenly the bone that was exposed loosened and was removed by my dentist. After that, the pain resolved, but the healing is not complete five months after the surgery. I hope you find relief soon.
