Members shared a wide range of experiences with Prolia injections, with some reporting no side effects over multiple years while others experienced skin rashes, hair loss, earaches, dental problems, increased pain, and allergic reactions that led them to discontinue treatment. Several members described practical strategies for managing side effects, including drinking lots of water, using compression socks for leg pain, applying baby oil for scalp itchiness, taking calcium with magnesium for better absorption, and carefully monitoring dental health due to risks of jaw bone issues. A recurring theme was the complexity of weighing Prolia's benefits against its potential side effects, the importance of transitioning to alternative treatments if discontinuing to avoid rapid bone density loss, and the shared understanding that with limited osteoporosis treatment options, each person must navigate tough decisions while advocating for their own health.

after you have taken prolia for osteoporosis, you have to take something else to replace it, or your bones will get worse rather quickly. Please go to the Mayo Clinic to research this.

I'm on Prolia but only had 2 so far and I knew their was side effects however I'm 82 I hurt a lot before this shot and I still hurt but all that said I do think I would have thinning bones at my age and I have to try something I will say this I was on Norco, hydrocortisones and some other dangerous pain pills now since the Prolia my pain is helped with Tylenol and cream/lotions u can use and oils this things never help me before .
Ladies we have little choices so were dammed if you do and dammed if we don't, Just keep on trucking stay safe : wear mask and stay home as much as possible we are at high risks "

my endo doc told me I could take prolia injections for up to 10 years, and that made me see that she wasn't the right endo doc for me. I am doing weight bearing exercises and my supplements, and will see what next dexascan says. These doctors do NOT know enough about these drugs and their long term effects to prescribe them.

I had a tooth break (it did have a big filling in it) almost to the gum line and had to have it pulled. This was shortly after my first shot. Is making my hair get thinner. But the worst problem has been my poor skin.
