Prolia Lawsuit

• Pamela JOctober 4, 2024 at 10:35 am

  Prolia injection was added to my list of medications due to steroid induced Osteoporosis. I started Prolia in 2022. I had to have a tooth extracted in January of 2024 and that is when the nightmare started. I was in major pain and my jawbone became exposed. I was diagnosed with osteomyelitis.

I had to have a tooth extracted in January of 2024 and that is when the nightmare started. I was in major pain and my jawbone became exposed. I was diagnosed with osteomyelitis. I no longer had blood flowing at the bottom and all teeth were loose and had to be extracted. Due to bone exposure, skin graphs were taken from my jaws to cover the bone after major debridement. As of today, I still have nerve pain. I’m still waiting to see what can be done to get removable dentures or implants since so much bone loss. I was told that this doesn’t happen to everyone who takes Prolia.

  Affter taking the prolia shots muscle weakness, weight loss muscle aches fatigue, etc. I have taking this shot for about four year or more.

  Please stay far away from this drug. It will negatively impact your life forever.

  Do not take prolia. Your life will never be good again.

  I received the Prolia injection in February 2024. After getting bronchitis a couple weeks later I then started having pain in legs and hips. I have been on crutches for over two months now. Pain varies from my hips, groins, to thighs, knee, and shins. Sometimes it's a sharp pain and other times it's a burning or aching. I have had to take pain meds routinely.

I have had to take pain meds routinely. I spend most of time in recliner with heating pad or laying down with pillows. I received hip injections last week and that was first time I have been able to sleep on my left hip since this all started. I have urinary frequency anyway but now I have to use incontinence pads because I can't make it to bathroom. It's been very upsetting and extremely debilitating. I still work part time but have found that now I am only able to work a few hours a day or I have swelling of ankles and extreme pain with walking. Some days I am unable to even make it to work because of the pain. Taking the Prolia shot was perhaps the worst decision I've ever made!

My mom has always been active in 70’s walking 3 miles daily and got around GREAT but diagnosed w/ Osteoporosis. She still kept walking fine & was just careful. Her doc convinced her to get the prolia shot and hasn’t been able to function or even get out of chair hardly. She can’t get out of bathtub without struggling for awhile. She’s in soooo much constant pain & hasn’t slept hardly any in 3 months. THIS IS NOT HER! She always had perfect health (nothing broken, no surgery, nothing) & this shot has destroyed her. Terrible joint pain & she can’t even function. Heavy chest/panic attacks, It’s ruining her life. The pain doesn’t even ease up in her body. She can barely get in/out of bed. She was sooo strong before this shot! Doc said other patients had success with it and it couldn’t be the shot 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Now I found about 100 horrible reviews online like this but couple years old & no one answered me. Her office called and cancelled her next appointment because they said her doc left the state & they can’t get new one in for her that day & will call back when they can get her in! That was weeks ago. We call & call to see if any updates/cancellation but nothing.. We live in WV so not many docs here & all seem clueless. Can anyone PLEASE help her & advise what to do? Pain pills aren’t helping & she’s going to destroy her stomach w/ them, she’s in so much pain. She shakes all over, Hospitals send her home. The doc says try something new but she goes home & NOTHING HELPS. We have no docs here who have any understanding of this. PLEASE tell me how to help her. She’s in constant misery & she’s toughest person I know. I’ve never seen her sick until now 😫🙏❤️ she’s in 70’s—how much longer will she hurt? It’s been weeks. Prob 3 miserable months. She said she’d rather be dead than get this shot again. I’m really scared guys. She never complains of pain until this. Thx in advance for any input. I can’t get her off heating pad & she has burns but don’t care she’s so miserable 🥲 I’m so scared.

It is unbelievable!!! I intend to stop because .. I see nothing positive with this drug . I often wonder if this drug is for older adults only to shorten their lifespan!!! Not having a productive quality of life !!! Unbelievable!!!

His office did some lab work and it was negative for arthritis .Before the shot,I was never informed of any side effects or received any kind of instructions/teaching. I thought I can trust our health care system. On the day of the result on the Dexa scan ,I received a call from the doctor's nurse that I need prolia injection for my osteoporosis and she is going to arrange me to have the injection at a different clinic. So, sometime after that, I received the shot. Now, I am suffering from constant aches and pains including daily headaches. I used to walk 1-2 miles a day but no longer now.(having groin pains). I also suffer from insomnia due to hip,back, pelvic and leg pains .I am a healthy 71 year-old without any comorbidities and don't take any medications. How on earth is prolia still in the market? And how are some doctors continue to do us harm? Please follow up with me. I need answers.

Amgen should be responsible for this irreversible damage. I have had severe jaw pain that progressed to demineralization of my jaw causing me to have severe dental issues. Dentist said he had never seen such adverse effects, have had a loss of 6 teeth and what is left is either chipped or turning dark in color. I am at a loss of what my options are. This has caused me discomfort and extreme embarrassment of bad and missing teeth, don’t smile and hide my mouth when I laugh. I’ve been advised not to stop injections as it might cause fractures. What a bunch of bull shit. I feel I deserve some type of settlement so I can afford dental implants. Pharmacological company’s should take responsibility and pay for problems their drug causes. Prolix has been on the market for about 10 years. I don’t believe I’m the only person having these issues, after reading some of the testimonials several have had dental problems. Amgen failed to inform physicians and the public that problems were occurring. Still nothing was done to stop production as it was such a money-maker. Prolia injections are around 2 thousands dollars each and recommended 2 times yearly. I would certainly like you to consider my case in a lawsuit.

During the rest of ‘21 I had a horrible rash, urinary retention, severe constipation, thigh pain, joint, muscle and nerve pain. During the of ‘22 o went through dozens of injections and epidurals because I thought my discs were causing the numbness, pain and tingling in my legs. Dec of ‘22 I had my fist back surgery followed by two more in ‘23. Instead of helping everything became worse. In Dec of ‘23 I decided it was time to see a neurologist. I have femoral damage in both legs. I’ve no doubt that this nerve damage as well as all of the other issues I started and continue to have are due to the Prolia! My Rheumatologist just laughs at me when I mention it. My PCP agrees with me and I’ll be bringing it up at my next appointment with the neurologist.

  Drug companies, doctors and therapists keep pushing drugs instead of fixing root cause and prevention. A healthy diet whole foods, fresh fruits & vegetables and meat and eliminating smoking alcohol sugar and processed food helps most in prevention of diseases. But drug companies and doctors will go out of business. Prolia has destroyed my mobility and my life.

I've been on prolia for over a decade now and am just learning about it being taken off the market. But what I am really shocked about is all the side effects we the people were not warned about. I've recently lost almost all my teeth. I had a major mouth/bone infection last year that I thought was due to bone pieces after an extraction and I ended up being deathly ill for almost 4 months because my immune system became sooo low with the mouth infection that I caught almost every illness that was floating around between Sept 2022 to December 2022, including Covid being the last illness I caught, and I am only now realizing that this is more than likely due to my long use of prolia. I am sooo upset right now! I need to pass all this information onto my Dr because I'm sure he has no idea why I got sooo sick last year... I am beyond ticked off! I'm supposed to go for another injection this coming Tuesday October 17 2023 but after learning all of this, obviously I will be re-discussing everything that has happened over the last year with my Dr and NOT letting him inject me incase it was all due to the prolia. ** However, I've had severe Osteoporosis (with a T-Score that was sooo low that it was lower than the last color on the Bone density chart) since the age of 27 and I will be 63 in 6 days, so what I'd love to know is, is there another alternative bone medication that people are now taking if no longer taking the prolia? ** In the past I've taken almost every Osteoporosis medication since the late 80's including Forteo for 2 years and after the Forteo it was Actonel and then on to the prolia. And since I desperately need to take something for my bones so I don't end up with another spinal fracture and surgery, I really want to know what I can take next? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Also, are any of you following up with the supposed lawsuit and/or do you know if it is a class action lawsuit? Thank You to everyone in advance for reading and for your help... Take Care and Good Luck with your bone treatment! Momma P

I have taken 10-12 motrin since my t4-7 collapsed. The cancer center that gave me the shot told me to continue the motrin and take Claritin??? So I will never take another shot of prolia and will do everything I can to make sure anyone I know doesn’t.

The surgeon, who repaired the femur, said that my bone was "spongy". The attachment at the hip is askew, as it was hard to get a good connection. I continue to have hip and bone pain and spend a lot or money on PT, massages, and Pilates, to keep me as healthy as possible. I'll never take these drugs again, but I still have osteoporosis.

Makes it really hard to eat, the pokey point is trashing my tongue, every time I swallow with or without food, it scraps against it. 😕 Dentist thought he fixed it. Not. I see him this afternoon. Seriously hate going to the dentist….and this crap has been going on since Jan. Told the endocrinologist that I wanted to switch to Fosomax which I took previously with no problems. But drs like to prescribe the new drugs. We get to be an experiment for them. I am no longer willing. The old drugs work better. She tells me it causes the same problems. I don’t believe her. And I do not believe I matter to her at all. It is not about concern for me. I believe when Drs push the new drugs, it is beneficial to them. Not you.

The next day I was sitting on the sofa when I suddenly experienced excruciating pain on the side of my right leg -followed by pain in left hand thumb area - left arm above elbow and in my right knee. From that day to the present 7/22/2023, I have continued to have pain in my bones, joints, muscles coupled with excessive itching overall. Currently experiencing continuing & worsening neuropathy, burning sensations, etc. My hands, legs & feet are painful & weakening; thus my mobility is fast becoming problematic. The sad part is that neither of my long-standing doctors believe Prolia to be the culprit. Last year I developed dental issues - teeth holding bridge fell out - Eye issues, etc. Can only imagine how much better my life would be if Prolia had not entered!

It wasn't until I needed a tooth extracted that couldn't be saved that I was given the horrendous warnings. I was then watched for dead bone disease and I fear future extractions as I have been unable to get off Prolia because I can't afford the other injectables and insurance doesn't cover. I have hip and back pain that make me miserable. I still haven't been told there is a new medication I can tolerate covered by insurance. I hear it's called the Prolia Trap. I live in fear of what is happening to my body and of the fact there is a time limit a person is able to take Prolia at all, in spite of the rapid bone loss when you stop.

There is arguably an inadequate failure to warn in the company's materials to consumers and to physicians. The MSVFs and AFFs and MRONJ are consistently experienced, reported to physicians and to the FDA, and yet...no lawsuit. I'm a retired lawyer who was injured by Prolia, but I'm in Canada. In my jurisdiction, the manufacturer warnings were sufficient to interrupt the chain of liability, in 2018 when I suffered multiple spontaneous vertebral fractures from discontinuance without a relay. I had a cause of action against my physician, but not against the manufacturer. I suspect it's the same in the USA. Scandalous.

Is it worth the risk until we do know? There are many new formulations of calcium that are better absorbed and easier to take made from sea life not the shells. Is it pricey yes- compared to less effective formulations-are you worth it yes! I had severe bone pain x4 months- have chronic pain In thoracic spine since injection (have NEVER had pain here before) tomorrow mri to see if I have rebound fracture/compression fracture (common with Prolia) I will NEVER take this horrible drug again. Try to warn other women of dangers: know one person who had to have her jaw replaced-can you imagine??? Luckily I only had one shot but I regret it every day. Please do your research. Your doctor does not know best, YOU do. Please. You do not want these side effects and even if you don’t know you have side effects, you could still have ongoing complications-additionally what if your insurance stops covering? What then -chances of rebound fracture especially thoracic spine compression fractures and hip fractures. Worth it? Finally before you ever get this shot, read up on the side effects and be sure to take calcium and vitamin d.

Incidently, I stopped going to my first rheumatologist because after the surgery he wanted to put me back on Prolia. I refused and started seeing another doctor. If a class action lawsuit is initiated in the U.S., I would very much like to be included.

This drug should be banned from the market. I will not take another injection, nor will I take anymore medications prescribed for bone loss. My faith, nutrition, exercise, and will power are my only medicine. Drug companies are creating too many "designer, fashionable" drugs just to make money. Television ads promoting an annual injection to control cholesterol (sounds as dangerous as Prolia), a new drug for bone loss is being advertised. It's just another Prolia with a different name. Amgen has severely harmed me.

The numerous lipomas are painful, unsightly and replicate so that I can never get ahead of the re-appearance of them. A few incisions have become inflamed due to their location and suture material. I underwent a mammogram to determine that a lump in my breast was a lipoma not a cancerous tumor. I underwent a kyphoplasty on my lumbar spine due to a fracture there. My spine surgeon was very upset with me when I refused to continue this injectable and my rheumatologist gave me Fosamax. The spine surgeon will not operate on my spine until I have completed one year of Fosamax which is very upsetting. Alterations in the color and texture of the skin on my limbs make them susceptible to injury and bruises. I feel like I have lost 10 years of my life and become elderly overnight due to this drug.

You can get 2nd opinion or change Drs,you get2 or3 estimates from companies before work done on home repairs,your body is more precious .There ARE good physicians out there who won't pressure you to do something not comfortable with & take time to talk with you. Bottom line It's YOUR decision & YOUR body not theirs.

I had an allergic reaction, drove to the local ER, had epinephrine and a relaxant, and was home later. Two weeks later I felt better. Now it's August 2022, the drug has worn off, and I have severe hip pain and exhaustion. I already had lower back pain but the pain is souch worse. I've also had right hip screws from a previous fractured, and once again, the pain is worse. But for me, since I always deal with pain, the primary concern is unusual exhaustion.

I stumbled on its faults only yesterday 9th August, 2022. I immediately went to a doctor to ask to stop taking this disgusting poison and I was sent for an immediate bone density scan which I won't have the results for, for a couple of days. I've been told stopping the drug will cause even more bone's to break and may stop me walking. What the hell!!!! Why is this drug even on the market. I'm soooooo upset!

I was not given any information regarding side effects or the fact that you needed a relay drug to come off Prolia. I had many side effects whilst taking Prolia, I had high cholesterol, stomach issues joint pain. I had countless blood tests, 24 hr heart ECG monitor twice, X-rays for pain, MRI’s to find cause of pain, sight irregularities (Eye specialist and MRI to find cause) stress test, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, trigger fingers on both hands, hip pain so bad I thought I needed a walking frame, could not bend down, could not stand unaided, turning in bed was a struggle, the list of things goes on and on. Prior to Prolia I did yoga daily but slowly I could do less and less if it until I could not get down on the floor to do it. It has wrecked my life and continue to struggle even after being off Prolia for 2 years. My health is improving slowly and hope it continues

Since then I still can't hardly breathe and the pain that started in my injected left arm won't go away. I can't use that arm at all. When I told the doctor who prescribedthe injection about all the side effects shortly after the treatment he laughed at me out loud. I was shocked that a doctor would do that . He said he never heard of anyone having so many side effects. As months passed on I saw my primary doctor again and told her of the trouble breathing but the pain in my arm and shoulder was worsening and I didn't go back to do the six month follow up injection because I didn't it took all that time to even find out what I had been injected with when his office called me to schedule a six month injection I said I was told the drug was every six months.

On May 29th, 2020 while strolling at my neighborhood park, a small child on a bike hit me from the backside. It was a low impact accident, but my left femur was fractured. An ambulance took me to the hospital for emergency surgery. The surgeon said it was an atypical fracture on my femur. Result of my Prolia injections for 6 years. Now I have an implant in my left femur and a drastic change in my lifestyle. I no longer practice yoga or hiking. Walking up the stair is a challenge. I feel depressed all the time. This drug should have never been approved by the FDA.

Ironically enough, I started my treatment for osteoporosis with Reclast drip in late 2013. . My yearly DEXA scan showed a slow but steady improvement over the next five years. In 2015, we moved to Florida and our new primary care physician continued to prescribe Reclast drip. Again the DEXA scans continued to show improvement at a steady pace. In late 2018 our doctor changes my treatment from Reclast to Prolia. I asked why the change and he answered that Prolia is taken from a part of the pig, and it is much safer than a synthetic medication and the DEXA scan results show much better numbers than Reclast. This could not be farther from the truth. The DEXA scans showed minimal positive results but the adverse results from Prolia could not be measured in numbers. Within 1 year I started to have dental problems. It’s noteworthy to mention that my visits to the dentist before Prolia included a cleaning and X-rays that showed no cavities along with a sparkling smile. Prolia has destroyed my jawbone. My teeth are either falling out. Rotting out or breaking off in my mouth causing some teeth to be broken down to the gum. Prolia has also caused a recess in my gums that are abnormal at best. I have found a dentist who is knowledgeable in what Prolia is doing to people. He has sent my saliva to be tested to see to what degree Prolia is a factor. He knows that Prolia is the cause because my teeth were in perfect health before starting on Prolia. He also gave me a prescription for bloodwork and took a CT scan to examine my jawbone to see if I have a chance to have dental implants. It does not look promising because of the destruction that Prolia has already caused. I am left with my Faith which for me is the most important factor. What is hopeless for man is possible with God. The dentist I have now is a small miracle since 4 dentists had no idea what Prolia was let alone know that it is causing severe problems. Some dentists are aware of this but are not proceeding with a dental program that includes Prolias effect on the teeth and jawbone and in turn not looking at the other health issues that arise from a Prolia infection that causes bacterias that have caused heart attacks. Strokes and many other health issues. Our new dentist has gone so far as to say that I should make sure I wear a mask when I am with people since any saliva transferred from me to another person will likely transfer the bacteria to them. There must be something done to hold Amgen the manufacturer of Prolia liable for the suffering of so many people, who were trying to control their osteoporosis finding that osteoporosis may be the least of their problems. I pray for healing for everyone suffering as I am and I hope and pray that Prolia and its disastrous effects on the human body will be brought to the light, more than an article on a website. There is too much suffering with very little being done to put peoples minds at ease. Stay strong because every person who is suffering needs to stand up and be counted. Thank you and Godspeed!!!!

When my doctor wanted me to take it, I asked her if there were any side effects and she said not that she knew of. This was only 2 and 1/2 years ago. There were warnings out on it at that time. So upset that she had no compassion for my health.

I have been working with a pain clinic that has prescribed painkillers and gabapentin which has made a small difference. The bone health clinic where I received the injection says that they have never heard of anything like this. Judging from the comments here, I don't know why that would be. I'm wondering when this will ever go away.

Here's my problem now I have a lot of hair loss in which the chemo made me lose some of my hair but grew back in thick, itchy skin, peeling skin on feet, but the worse thing is my back now. I had to go in an ambulance to the hospital for a fracture on the spine, and 2 bulging disc. They just gave me muscle relaxer and a pain shot intravenously. Now I'm afraid to do much of anything, I don't want the pain again, think I've had just about enough. I was not informed about any of these side affects.

To absorb these products effectively bones also needs Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Magnesium and Collagen. All these items can be found in various Ostelin products which I will definitely invest in.

Each injection is something like $1,200.00 where Medicare pays for most of it. They have millions of people on this so called "medication", so you can see right there what is the motivating factor. My father had two injections. After the second one, he could hardly breath I had to take him into the closest "Urgent Care". Within a few months all his top teeth melted away. Within 6 months his femur, the largest bone in the body, fractured from simple body weight. He slowly recovered from that but it had a lingering negative impact on his body. He was weaker, become dizzy, etc. Then he fractured his ribs when he leaned over at the sideof the bed in order to put his shoes on. The medical establishment is blinded by their own profession believing that "modern medicine" develops wonderful new treatments that help people when it's all the opposite. What they don't tell you about Prolia is that it actually, in very basic terms, stops the recalcification of the bones. Since the bones are throughout one's life continuously demineralizing and remineralizing, guess what happens when a drug interferes and effectively stops the remineralizing part. That's right, fractures. It also operates through the protein synthesis in the body, so you can only wonder what further damage occurs. So why is it even on the market. The FDA is effectively in bed with the pharmaceutical industry. You will have people who have worked at the FDA go to work for the pharmaceutical companies, so it's ripe for conflicts of interest. You might read that they have a "vigorous" approval process and it's all based on "science" and studies. Then you have to ask whose science is being used. And are studies ultimately funded by pharmaceutical companies, or universities that receive funding from the same. Something isn't right here, but how can it be addressed. The problem is that there is so much money in the pharmaceutical industry that they take any lawsuits into account and hope to rake in more money before there are any or too many lawsuits. Plus, with a drug like Prolia that is targeted to the elderly, they often don't understand what is happening to them, don't make the connection or are just too tired or in cognitive decline that prevents them from speaking up and making it an issue. The whole thing is just so despicable.

So, at this point I don't know, but I know of at least 3 people who take it and they are fine, but they could not take the Fosamax or the Boniva, it made them sick. All I know is, I don't want to feel like that again.

It then started to calm down, but another break-out this morning. I called the dr. as instructed and she prescribed some medication. I spent all weekend doing research, and read so many negative comments; however, the fact that such severe reactions are occurring immediately after the first injection and the fear of stopping... I am amazed this drug is on the market. I am hoping for the best and I have all intentions of stopping this drug. I have also been noticing much hair loss since this injection. My main concern is what do we do after we stop taking this? I read that one should promptly receive a bisphosphonate or other alternate antiresorptive therapy to mitigate the increase risk of vertebral fractures. Has anyone done this? Is there a place we can go to with more information? It appears to be dangerous to take this drug, and extremely dangerous to get off of it. I should have stayed with my instinct - not to take this medicine. My doctor talked me into it.

I will go to my grave knowing Prolia did this to me. Once a very active 62 year old, now getting out of bed is a chore.

  I have had two injections. Don't want another one but scared not to and scared to have it. I can hardly use my hands now. They hurt so badly. My wrists hurt too. I just thought surgery and radiation were bad for breast cancer that was a breeze compared to how I feel now.

You never (or very rarely) see a story such as: This drug worked for me and caused me no problems. You only see all the terrible stories of how from the moment someone took the drug, their lives became an ongoing misery of pain and suffering and they were never the same again. Not that I am discounting anyone's story here (Everyone is different and sometimes bad reactions do happen) but it just seems that on every review website (no matter the drug), there is almost never a positive review of ANY drug! I have been taking Prolia for 6 years now and have had no side effects. Perhaps I am just fortunate but I do know I was trying to fight advanced osteoporosis (for decades even before being diagnosed with it) by taking extra calcium, vitamin d, exercise and all the rest, but to no avail. I never smoked and don't drink alcohol. My mother had advanced osteoporosis and apparently in my case it's genetic. You can't alter your genetics. With this in mind, I decided I needed to do something to combat osteoporosis. Sorry for all the negative things here that people list as having happened to them taking Prolia (everything from soup to nuts), but since other things did not work for me, I will stick with Prolia, at least for now. I do worry about getting my next injection with Covid raging, but it looks like Covid will continue raging for quite some time to come.

Somehow, I acquiesced when my doctor kept insisting and I am so sorry. My husband felt I should not have it, but was not with me the day i got it because of Covid restrictions. Believe me, he will be there when I go again in March to tell my doctor "no more," echoing my feelings. I need to know what best practice is to follow cessation of Prolia? No one seems to be more than vaguely recommending a bisphosphonate. I am at once anxious to avoid rebound fractures, and fearful of ANY OTHER chemical bone density-altering drug, for the same reason I am afraid of Prolia! I would like to hear if there is a class-action lawsuit as well. Sign me on!

I told my rheumatologist I did not want to do another shot but he dismissed the side effects which he never told me could happen in the first place. After the second shot, I lost my ability to walk and experienced profound issues with my jaw, teeth spontaneously coming loose, intense jaw pain, infection and gums spontaneously receding so much that the bone is exposed. My quality of life came to an abrupt end. I stopped Prolia 1.5 years ago, I am still experiencing major side effects from it and I am terrified of what’s next. I was never told of the profound side effects that could be caused by Prolia which I still experience every minute of every day.

  I had my first prolia injection six months ago. I was NOT told of the risk of spinal fractures if you go off it. I had two compression fractures from falls 12 years ago, so now I am terrified that if I go off prolia I will suffer more spinal fractures. I want to go off it because I have had increased joint pain since I started on it, but now I feel trapped.

Anyway when my sister urged me to check out the Prolia, but util i was checking on drug interactions, i had never given it a second thought. I couldnt believe all that i found. All but 2 of my symptoms for the past 4+ wks were there. The shin pains that keep me up all night, the jaw pain where I cant even open wide enough to eat... the flu like feeling coming and going several days a week. There was numbness in my hands and dizzy spells at home and work. Some day i would call in because i couldnt even stand up with the pain in my feet and legs. There was stabbing pain in my ribs at anytime, for no apparent reason. This is crazy. This should be taken off the market.

The Dr tried to convince me it is not the Prolia. No way. Tylenol or Aleve doesn't give relief. I have called FDA and filed a report. Walking with a cane for balance. No more injections.

Sent to have EMG done both arms and hands.Right hand came back as carpal tunnel and left hand as nerve damage .couldn’t wear watch or rings or wear a long sleeve that touched my wrist. Also went to Ortho Neuro for arms, had exrays, sent for therapy.After one session ,every thing shut down ,because of virus.Couldn’t have hand operated on,but he gave me a shot in the wrist, which helped plus Gabapentin.from family doctor.I’m still having problems after almost a year.Was never told of side effects,but knew the Prolia shot is the cause of all the pain I’ve had.I was a healthy woman of 83 years old ,on record as seeing my doctor for a sinus infection once a year. I will not ever take the shot again, and believe that a shot that was supposed to help, caused me the most pain I’ve ever had in my life.I would like to be informed if there is a lawsuit in the future.

I did not have any of these issues before the Prolia. I actually felt decent for the first time since the end of Chemo then came the Prolia. I had a lung biopsy for a chronic cough (not sure if related) and was asked if I have Rheumatoid arthritis. The blood test showed Rheumatoid indications. I never had Rheumatoid indicators, not even with Chemo labs done every 3 weeks. I have taken steroids for seasonal allergies, heat rashes and then ibuprofen for this pain which helped. Now I’m having GI flare ups and was told not to take ibuprofen. I can hardly walk without pain in every joint, bone and muscle. My arms, hands, feet, shoulders, knees-all are effected. Maybe a broken bone would be less painful and would possibly heal. Not sure this will ever wear away.

Also bathroom issues. I’m afraid to stop because of the warning that the company said.

She had no idea this could happen and even said she needed to let people know who hadn’t gone in for their shots because of Covid. I was advised that by a different doctor that I needed to go back on the shots to try to prevent the fractures, I got another shot but am very afraid of more problems! When I started the shots I was told about possible jaw problem and femur fractures, but told the chances of problems were remote, I was NEVER told that once I started these shots I could not stop! This just shouldn’t have happened.

I had open sore rash on my face sizes of dime to Nickles- I was in bathroom 24-7 , vomiting, dizzy, huge mouth sores and a large fleshy mass in roof of my mouth. Severe headache and then the COPD cough- Coughing so much my abs and chest hurt... Dry skin and eyes - nails flakes off... hideous lady parts itching... eyes felt like cotton balls, and peeing and pooping myself- gastro issues , constant UTI , severe ... lost much of my hair- bought a wig- hated wearing it... and my teeth issues- that was January 2015. I have said many times it ages me 10 years or more. And if it aged my outsides what did it do to my insides? Had to Quit my job 3 weeks later - I couldn’t manage to stop crawling and being in the bathroom until at least noon or later each day. Sobbed and cried by myself daily... - we got Coco a month later and she saved me. She got me out of bed, on afternoon walk and out socially... and kept me company. I owe her my life... Went to Mayo Clinic by myself with Mister for 9 days plus weekends ... They addressed each single medical issue and stopped the treating my body as individual pieces to a whole body allergic and flared by Prolia. My doctor here followed their protocol to this day. I had rx for all of the above and My house is still full of all the rx. I can’t get rid of them just “in case” I need them. All due to one ridiculous PROLIa shot. Triggered every single autoimmune issue in my dna to attack my body all at once. I read on my Prolia sites people who are far worse ... my hearts aches for them. And when I hear of someone’s family member I vow to share my story to not take that drug. I am a case study per Mayo Clinic for Fda and Amegen has my file as well. One day I hope to hold them accountable along with millions of other people.

Went to a dermatologist for the psoriasis on my face (now gone). And then to be told (I'm sure the drug maker purposely says this) that I can't stop taking it ever or will have spinal fractures.

After the 2nd shot I started having terrible pains in my legs and hips, feeling very frail, balance problems from weakness, blood sugar problems and sinus problems. I had been very healthy and athletic all my life. Prolia took it away and made me a weak old woman. I can lay on my side for maybe 20 minutes before the pain in my hip wakes me up every night, roll over and in a few minutes the pain starts in the other hip and keeps me awake. Sometimes the pain in my thigh stops me from walking. The real kicker is that the doctor who gave me the shots said none of her patients ever had any problems, but she has collected thousands of dollars kickback from Amgen for Prolia. (look up Dollarsfordocs). This stuff needs to be banned!

  I had one injection of Prolia October 7 2019. Within 3 hours muscle and joint pain began. This lasted 3 weeks. Next esophageal inflammation began. This is ongoing 6/2020. Gums inflamed. Severe hip and lumbar vertebrae pain. IGA dropped to 20. Remainder of immune system tests decimated. Prolia should be taken off market.

I have lots of crowns and upper and lower partials. I have had a infection that was spread into the jaw bone and had to have the complete upper bone scrapped, guessing that was about 10 years ago. I’m 64 yr old now. My Dr. told me to go see my dentist before going on this drug and I did, no problem. I had no ideal!!!! Yes, my teeth were in the best condition that could be for me. BUT, if someone would have just ask simple questions, I should have never been on this drug!!!! Just based on my dental background. Now I’ve had 5 root canals and waiting to have oral surgery to remove two teeth. 9 months from my last injection. All my teeth hurt and are getting loose, I’m in pain and it hurts when I eat. My jaws are starting hurt and I’m scared. My health insurance doesn’t cover any of this so I’m looking at about 20k and just getting started. My Dentist office is closed because of the virus and I’m in the middle of a lot of bad fitting temporaries. I’m scared.

I had no effect (except for teeth problems)from the first two but three days after the third shot, I experienced pain in the front of both legs (shins and thighs as well as around each kneecap). Three months later (2/19) I went back to the internist with my pain and he gave me a bone density test that showed anywhere from3%-10% improvement. But the pain continued to get stronger. By 5/19 my left hip was so painful that I could hardly walk/sleep. I was sent to a orthopedic team (back, hip,nerve) and found no reason for the pain in my legs or knees. My hip showed some deterioration but this did not bother me until the Prolia shot. I went thru six months of tests and no doctor would say that all my pain was caused by the shots. They did admit that the frontal pain from my waist down was not caused by the hip. Went back to the internist in 12/19 and he did every blood test to rule out every cause. All came back negative EXCEPT for the swollen muscle test that showed muscle inflammation, but couldn't tell me where in my body. Because of all the pain, I would not take a fourth shot. There was some relief, both in my hip and thigh, from the three cortisones shots I have taken in the last six months but didn't"t last long. I can't walk more than a mile without significant pain. I feel I have lost over a year of my life and hope the longer this shot leaves my body, the pain will subside. My internist gave me gabapentin (300mg) in my Dec visit so I can sleep at night. Prolia should be given to those individuals as was intended - bone cancer or such severe osteoporosis that bone breaks are inevitable. This is not a preventative measure for the rest of us. I was never informed that this shot had to be continually given or, if stopped, the potential risk of fracture would increase. It also raised my blood pressure and cholesterol.

I said I don't know, it came up after the second injection. Since then I suffer from outbreaks of cellulitis! Wish I had never heard of this drug! I have constant back pain and constant outbreaks of cellulitis on my face!

  I was on Boniva 5 yrs, then Prolia, needed a tooth pulled due to neglect from my dentist not taking care of a tooth the right way back in 2015, it needed a root canal and a crown,I even changed dentist in that group, she didn’t take care of the hole in the top of the tooth until my latest visit, she stated after the X-ray, wow, there is a big cavity.

Duh the tooth had this hole for 4 years the tooth decayed to the point it needed to be pulled, couldn’t get it pulled due to a chance of necrosis of the bone from being on Prolia, they didn’t tell me I will never be able to get a tooth pulled. What happens, the remove the root, then file the tooth to the bone, the surgeon stated it was ashame that it wasn’t caught earlier, he could of done a root canal and a crown. I am so made over this whole issue, I am thinking of hiring a lawyer, but I don’t know if I have a case

  I am at a loss to know what to do. I am 74 with osteoporosis in right femur. My doctor wants me to take Prolia. I have been reading the reviews and I am unsure about it. Is there anything else I could take for the osteoporosis, which the doctor said can get worse over time if I'm not on anything. Thanks.

  After taking a Prolia injection, I incurred a fracture of my Luna & radius. Since taking Prolia, I have suffered an enormous amount of bone issues. My cervical spine has dibilitating pain from herniated discs, thoracic vertebrae, 2 & 3 are a mess after a 2003 accident.

Since taking Prolia, I have suffered an enormous amount of bone issues. My cervical spine has dibilitating pain from herniated discs, thoracic vertebrae, 2 & 3 are a mess after a 2003 accident. My lumbar area as well as my cervical area are in constant pain, etiology unknown. My feet have now started hurting, my right foot with a pronounced amount of abnormal bone growth on top. Most likely a bone spur. Now, the bottom line - once I took Prolia, I have issues swallowing. I have had a barium swallow which showed abnormality of flow from my esophagus to my digestive system. At times, my throat completely closes - all I can do is control my breathing through my nose, spitting as I am unable to swallow. I have been prescribed hyoscomine, which helps when things become urgent.

  I’ve had 8 or more spontaneous vertebral fractures since stopping Prolia two years ago. These are REBOUND FRACTURES caused by stopping Prolia This has been well documented but I wasn’t informed of this risk before stopping the Prolia. I am now disabled from all of these fractures.

  Severe joint pain, inflammation, muscle aches and snapping hip syndrome following one and only injection of Prolia. I also had 2 crowns fall off my teeth secondary to calcium /bone loss and bleeding gums.
