How did you manage the pain side effects of Prolia?

@fearfracture, Good evening. Thanks for your reply. Although I am not a medical professional in any way........I do not have a response to your question about stopping Evenity. However, I understand the issue. Have I already given you the number for Amgen? Both Prolia and Evenity are their products. If you have questions about EVENITY® and would like to speak to a call center representative, please call 1-888-231-5663.

Please send a reply post so everyone will know the answer.

Thank you for your response. I don't know if we are speaking the same language. My knowledge of how Prolia works does not include building new bone.

From the headline on website, I copied this introduction.
"Prolia® is an injection that works with your body to help stop the development of bone-removing cells."

Unless I am reading this comment incorrectly, Prolia does not create new bone. Interpreted as stated, it implies that Prolia helps prevent the development of cells that reduce bone.

While I am not here as a mentor to disagree with you as a member, I do feel that I must support the information that has been given to me to share with other members.

May you be free and protected from inner and outer harm.

Because you misinterpreted my statement, I apparently didn’t state it well enough. I wasn’t saying that Prolia builds bone but it repairs the process of bone regeneration so that we don’t lose more bone.

“Without
treatment
An excess of bone-removing cells in your body makes you lose bone faster than your body can rebuild it, putting you at risk for fracture.
With
Prolia®
Prolia® is an injection that works with your body to help stop the development of bone-removing cells.”

I’m amazed some don’t have pain with Prolia. The pain in my joints and bones is awful. I wonder why mine is so bad? Am I doing something wrong? Tylenol only helps a little bit. Two o’clock this morning I awoke with shooting pains in my jaw and ear. How do people function on this drug?

Both drugs give you back pain, but I think that Evenity gave me more joint pain than Prolia. You also have Evenity injections every month for a year (2 injections each time) - I think this is way too strong for most people.
