Prolia treatment for osteoporosis: What is your experience?

Good evening @scpartin, I just ran across your recent post about having MRONJ with Polia. I am starting to have jaw pain days and my next injection is in June. I am terribly anxious. Will the MRONJ get worse? How did you treat it? I cannot move to another reabsorption protector because I have the same reaction with any bisphosphonate I had no problem with Tymlos for 2 years. Any advice for me and others who are limited to one choice?

Thank you.
Chris

Chris I believe the two year limit has been lifted for Forteo. Don't know if that might be helpful.

I'm sorry you're having jaw pain. My advice is to see a dentist or oral surgeon to find out what is causing your pain. MRONJ usually occurs after some type of dental surgery and the main symptom is failure to heal with continued pain and infection. Two months after a Prolia injection, I began experiencing pain and symptoms of infection around dental implants which had been in place for twenty years. After the implants were surgically removed, the site did not heal and I was treated for months with antibiotics and oral rinses. I don't know whether the Prolia caused the implants to fail in the first place, but it definitely led to MRONJ post surgery. I feel very fortunate that my jaw eventually healed. Some people are not as lucky and end up with a chronic problem. I hope this is helpful and that you are able to resolve your pain.
