Prolia & Jaw Pain

Posted by ldl @ldl, Jan 27 3:45pm

I had my first Prolia injection on Jan. 16. I didn't have any side effects, but today I awoke with a sore jaw. My doctor said it would be very rare to have that type of reaction from just one injection. Has anyone else had this experience from their first Prolia injection? Thank you for any input.

Good afternoon @ldl, and a big welcome to Connect. I was actually on my way to get dinner started and saw your post about your first Prolia injection. I had a couple of similar experiences. #1.....my first ever biphosphonate Boniva and #2.......Prolia after two years with Tymlos and no side effects. I talked with my physician and she recommended that I begin a chart to see if there was a pattern that related to "anything". Six weeks later, I gave up and scheduled a consultant appointment with my endocrinologist at Mayo Rochester.

As I read these posts I begin to understand that we are all quite different. That is why I choose to give things some time, especially medication referred by a qualified physician. This group of Bone Health patients comes to Connect with both a lot to share and a lot to learn.

Would you please let me know what you have decided?

May you struggles and sorrows be eased.
Chris

Thank you for replying, Chris. My endocrinologist suggested I see my dentist in a week or two if symptoms continue. I was off & on oral bisphosphates for 8 years & never had this symptom.
