@jennyseven my doc is mainly concerned with the rapid drop in bone density and rise in fracture risk when Prolia is stopped, even for a break in treatment. Check with your doctor and the pharmacist on side effects, and maybe call Amgen, the manufacturer, to report it. I googled "prolia neuropathy" and here are some results, which suggest that low calcium might be the culprit while you are on Prolia, not the drug itself:

List of side effects includes numbness and tingling.

Another google result:
Is tingling a side effect of Prolia?
Tingling wasn’t specifically reported as a side effect of Prolia in clinical studies. But tingling may be a symptom of side effects such as sciatica and hypocalcemia. Sciatica is described as a shooting pain that travels from the lower back down a leg. Weakness and tingling can also occur.
