Have Any One Had A Reaction To Prolia Injection

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Perth, AU

I have recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis after presenting to Gp with mild upper back pain
Had Prolia injection two weeks ago and within 24 hours developed flu like symptoms and then lower back pain like I had a broken back. GP gave me codeine pain relief but after a week still really unable to move freely or sleep I am desperately wanting answers but GP unavailable until next week.

Members shared widely varied reactions to Prolia injections for osteoporosis, with some calling it a blessing that stabilized their bone density without side effects while others reported severe flu-like symptoms, debilitating back pain, tooth loss, UTIs, skin issues, and fatigue lasting days to months. Several members described practical approaches including switching to alternative medications like Reclast, Fosamax, or Forteo, using natural supplements such as AlgaeCal, vitamin D with K2, magnesium, turmeric gummies, and incorporating daily walking, balance exercises, and Tai Chi to manage pain and bone health. A recurring theme was the deeply personal nature of medication responses, with members emphasizing the importance of researching treatment options thoroughly, advocating for oneself with doctors, and recognizing that one treatment does not fit all, even as the community offered prayers, hugs, and solidarity through the uncertainty.

For those of you on Prolia.............I am glad that you have suffered no major side effects. But, it's those women who now have serious ailments like hip pain, jaw pain, loosing teeth and hair, to name a few! Effects they have never experienced before taking Prolia. I've had many of the other medications (Fosomax, Actonel, and Reclast) over past 11 years. No side effects! But with Prolia the reviews were so scary.......either the best medication ever or the worst one! I'll try my hand at daily walking, balance exercises and suggested amounts of Calcium (1500 mg) + Vit D and some Magnesium to see how I fare on my own.

Hi Pam, So sorry to hear your having problems. I could have written your question almost exactly the same as you did
Within 6 hours I started chilling and was freezing all night with those flu like symptoms you described. Then a week later with the suppressed immune system got the flu and pneumonia. A tooth fell out and 2 more are lose now. The back pain prevents me from being able to sleep at night or to walk past my driveway. That shot was the worst decision I've made. Never again will anyone convince me to take Prolia. My second shot was due a few days ago but I refuse.
