How did you manage the pain side effects of Prolia?

I had my first Prolia injection last July and have to have the second one very soon. Pain and spasms were very real. Yet I feel I need to give it a chance to see if it will help build my bones. I’m dreading it again.

I had pain in my thigh that lasted for a year after taking prolia. My dr had me stop the Prolia because the pain was so severe.

Good evening @kjane322 and @emwilliams, thanks for your response @kjane322. As I read that you are looking at Prolia to help build your bones, I want to make sure you know that Prolia does not build bone.......it protects it after another medication has built it. The only three medications that build bone are Forteo, Tymlos, and Evenity. Please consult with a bone health specialist/clinician to make sure you are taking the right medication.

This is a lot of medication information and it can be very confusing. I personally got involved in a mess until I saw an endocrinologist at Mayo Clinic. Whew.....saved again. I sure wish it was easier. Let me know if you have other issues. You may need another opinion or consultatation.

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
