Prolia side effects-increased RA inflammation

I had my fourth Prolia injection Tuesday. I’m experiencing side effects sooner this time. Lower back pain, leg pain waking me up in the middle of the night. And for the first time I’m having vertigo upon waking in the morning, and fatigue during the day. I’m hoping I can finally have a bone scan to see if this Prolia is working to help my bones. The most bothersome is the leg pain waking me. I’m usually a good sleeper and don’t have problems. After I try to convince my doctor for a bone scan I’ll have to decide whether I should continue the injection. I’m also surprised the side effects are starting so much sooner. The previous injection usually started slowly and took a couple of weeks for me to notice the awful leg pain. I’m going to continue to just keep pushing forward and keep moving.

I’m so sorry about your side effects, especially the leg pain.
I’ve only had one injection and the leg pain was so bad
when I went walking that I had to stop every 5 minutes.
That was the only time they really bothered me, but two pharmacists I know really well recommended that I do
not continue the Prolia because that leg pain was a huge red flag. My legs still bother me some when I walk,
but as the Prolia wears off, the leg pain has slowly lessened. I’m not sure when this pain will stop. I was also told that the side effects could get worse with more injections. I’m very prone to side effects anyway,
so I made the decision not to have any more injections.
I’m doing strengthening exercises, walking, eating well and taking Bone Builder Forte,
and Calcium Citrate.
I may try another med if it is not an injection.
I’ll pray for you and please let me know what you decide.
