i kust want to add after taking the prolia shot and being iin so much pain my dr ordered additional bllodwork which showed i had 2 markers for ra no symptoms or physical deformity but i had these markers and was tld i have ra and am being treated for such. i would like to know if only the 2 markers are enough for a diagnsis of raa. also when i asked my dr could the prolia have caused he said possibly so i guess i traded one pain for another. has anyone been diagnosed with ra and if so how because i am 80 yrs old and never had any symptoms of ra befure the prolia imcident also i was diagnosed in 2008 withosteoarthritis not ra right now am very confused

I have very high autoimmune markers including lupus and scleroderma but without all the symptoms on the criteria checklist, I am not formally diagnosed, despite my many symptoms.

I would think RA, osteoarthritis and a Prolia side effect could all be explanations for pain. Osteoporosis itself does not cause pain.

I hope you have a good plan for getting off Prolia! Without transition to a bisphosphonate, bone density can worsen suddenly when stopping Prolia. But maybe you had only one shot?
