Thought I was done with side effects after the excruciating hip and back pain in March. Have been dealing with extremely sore/achy hands, arms and neck/upper back for the last month. Started with the area between my right shoulder and elbow, then moved to my left arm and neck/upper back. Can't wait for this drug to disappear out of my body!!! | F | 57 | 1.5 years 60mg 2X O | 5/12/2016 | 1 | Early osteoporosis | Extreme pain in legs (ankle to top of thigh) and all of arms plus hands. Additional back pain. Got 6-mo. shot about five weeks ago, a sort of tingling started after about 10 days, progressing into severe pain. Age 78 | I now know that my side effects are common but did not know in advance. Unable to learn anything about what is going on that causes the pain. Varies in intensity. Prognosis? I don't know. Where is the FDA? Where are our doctors? How can it not be criminal - giving me a drug that causes so much pain as I try to hang onto my life. | F | 78 | 5 weeks 60 1X O | 5/10/2016 | 1 | Medication for breast cancer & osteo | UTI, bladder infection; constant urinary pain, skin cracking/peeling. Since I am/was also on Armidex, I'm not sure if my joint pain is from that for Prolia. | After dealing with these symptoms for months, my own investigation concluded these are all side effects of Prolia. My oncologist agrees. I'm hoping once my January 2016 injection wears off I get back to normal. I will NOT take another Prolia injection. | F | 65 | 2 times 60 mg 2X O | 5/6/2016 | 1 | Osteoporosis | Aching all over, sinus infection, itching, extreme fatigue, memory problems, depression | I've had one shot, 4 months ago, will certainly not have any more. | F | 68 | 4 months 1X O | 5/5/2016 | 3 | Osteoporosis | Achey at first but Tylenol helped. A little gastrointestinal distress for a few days. | F | 51 | 1 weeks 60 1X O | 4/30/2016 | 1 | Osteoporosis | Side effects started at two weeks after taking injection and slowly increased for several months. The side effects did not magically go away at six months. I began to feel some relief after 11 months. Example, being able to sleep thru the night one or two nights a month. Has effected every aspect of my life. No help or support from GYN or Endocrinologist. No response from doctors, just blank looks. They didn't know what to do. Find a doctor who will listen. | Believe what your body is telling you. Keep a journal of side effects. I hope everyone here has reported to FDA: 1-888-463-6332 Amgen 1-800-772-6436 | F | 57 | 6 months 60mg 1X day | 4/30/2016 | 1 | I will not take prolia | Teeth becoming loose | My father who is 78 has been on Prolia for 18 months and he has always had really good teeth. Within the last 12 months the dentist has removed 3 teeth due to being loose but no decay. My father was not told of any side effects regarding jaw rot and did not mention he was on Prolia to the dentist. Doctors really need to take the time to explain all the side effects, especially to the elderly. I myself was diagnosed with osteoporosis in Jan 2016 as I ended up in hospital with 2 compression fractures in my spine. I was told my T score is -5.6. After researching on the net I decided to keep away from Osteoclast type products like Prolia as long term use can increase the risk of fractures as the bone becomes brittle. I take vitamins D3, K2, magnesium, silica and am on a Osteoblast type medication. The thought of taking Prolia scares me. | F | 55 | 18 months 1X O | 4/29/2016 |
