So sorry to hear of everyone's problems with Prolia. I agree you must be careful with this drug. I am wondering if anyone who has taken or is taking Prolia injections has had problems with ongoing jaw pain that is so severe it impairs chewing, and keeps you awake at night? If so, has your dentist given you any feedback on this? I took Prolia injections for 3 1/2 years, but stopped due to development of MRONJ on one side of my jaw. MRONJ is exposed bone of the jaw. The MRONJ is healing, but I have noticed that the other side of my jaw which does not have MRONJ, has also become extremely painful and stiff. My dentist does not see a problem with the teeth on the healthy side of my jaw. But it has become so painful that I find I must put my food in a mixer to liquify as chewing aggravates the issue so much. I will see my dentist again in a few weeks and review this topic again. So far the only feedback I have gotten is that I could be 'grinding' my teeth at night? Taking one day at a time.

I’m so sorry you are having painful symptoms. I also developed mronj after only one prolia injection. For months the pain was constant and almost unbearable. My dentist prescribed antibiotics and chlorhexadine rinse. Finally the exposed bone loosened and the dentist was able to remove it. Following that procedure the pain diminished and the jaw seemed to heal. I am currently seeing a rheumatologist to decide what options are available. I hope you find relief soon. Sending my very best wishes for healing.
