within 48 hrs i was in severe pain could not really walk or open my hands went to my dr he gave me a steroid pac i took the first line and by the next day all the pain was gone so i thought. the minute i was off the steroids the pain came back.it was my whole body a burning deep penetrating pain that i couldn't sleep walking and moving was very painful my whole body just ached. i was put on 20 mg prednisone and that helped somewhat but i was never without pain. as the months went on and the shot was waning the pain got better and then i was told i had ra never had any o =f this before the shot so yes i do believe the shot did alot of damage and i beliee it is still doing it. do not take the prolia shot 6 wks after having the shot i had my first compresion fracture but did not know it until it was pretty much healed. very painful then my 6 mos with prolia was up on may and this past auguat i had another compression frxture. they say that happens whwn you stop the prolia and i only had 1 shot. i am so angry with myself gor not checking it out i trusted my dr and now will suffer with side effects for the rest of my life such as fractures i can only say the fda did not vet this drug properly and drs are giving it out and know nothing about it ir how bad it can be nope this helps
