Thank you so much Dr. Brown. I loved this video. I am currently on Prolia but can't believe i ever got on it in the first place. I am very frightened. I have been strengthening my bones with exercise, supplements and diet. I am not going back for another injection. I have done three years. I am so sad I did this to my body. You are encouraging. God Bless you!

I am a 60 year old female, started Prolia in 2016. Missed one injection in June 2020 ( as I was in another country helping my mother) was not worried regarding the missing dose, as I was told my bone density was greatly improved) 4 months after the missing injection of Prolia, had 6 fractures on my spine. Lost 6 cm etc..

My wife was encouraged to get on Prolia in October 2016 after a DEXA scan revealed that her markers were on -3.5 having been on Actonel and other similar drugs up to that time to combat OP. Six months after the operation and having had ultra sound on Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands, to her horror a lump that has sprang out on the front of her neck revealed to be of suspicious substance. Her endocrinologist immediately suggested that she has her Thyroid and one of her Parathyroid glands removed before the lump becomes malignant i.e. cancerous. There is no question in our minds that since the lump or cist did not exist before the Prolia injection the culprit cannot be any other that Prolia itself.

I just started Prolia last year! All of a sudden all my blood work was terrible! I am having IDA (iron deficiency anemia) The only thing that had changed in my life was the Prolia injection. I have had so many tests to see why I am losing blood, to no avail! I am seeing a hematologist and have had iron infusions twice. The EGD I had showed I have GERD, the medicine I take for that isn't great for my osteoporosis! I am revaluating and praying the Dr's listen to me! Oh, CT scans show no blood loss either! Thank you in advance for any reply you may give me!

[@DrSusanBrown]

Hi Ruthie, we are sorry to hear about this! Dr. Brown said that this situation is very interesting and it's possible that Prolia could be the cause, but you should talk to your doctor about this suspicion.

[@barbs1298]

I have gastritis which is inflammation of stomach lining & I have had refluxcas well. I went through a particularly stressful month in April which set my stomach off. I did omeprozole 14 day dose to get things under control. I did some research & found that Aloe VerA capsules are great for stomach issues. I tried it along w/Ashwganda capsules for my stress & adrenal fatigue. Both helped tremendously. I also took digestive enzymes & went on a bland diet for a week or so. In addition, I take Vit. D 4,000IU/day, plus Vit. K2MK7. I am a very active 61 yr old & have had osteoporosis since my 40's. I have had no fractures except when I fell off my bike & put my arm out to break my fall. That was 8 yrs ago. It was a clean break & healed quickly. I had to have OT to get the ligaments & tendons working properly again, but no shattered bone. Go figure. I also take greens in capsule form or add to my smoothie. I go for Dexa next week. I wish they would do more than a Dexa & do the tribecular scans for actually bone strength despite being thin. I keep myself moving & active & will incorporate some heel drops & hopping as well as rebounding. I dug out my Urban Rebounder. I refuse bone drugs as you can still fracture while on them plus the crazy side effects. No thanks, I'll stick to my routine as I believe that though I have thin bones, I have a strong tribecular structure. I pray you find what you need, but I highly recommend Aloe Vera caps for stomach.

I know I got better just with improving my diet an increasing exercise with resistance training. I am not achy anymore, and my hip and knee do not hurt like they used too. I wll have another scan next year, but am not going on any drug for OA. I have never had a fracture, and I will be very safety mindful for the as I grow older.

[@lindaannesmith9578]

What is the mechanism by which Prolia lowers your calcium? I had to have my Ca tested 2 weeks prior to scheduled Prolia injection to insure I could take it, but it was NOT monitored during the period following the injection. I experienced extreme fatigue and weakness following the first two injections, but recovered. About 3 weeks after the Third Injection of Prolia, I was sent to ER with bradycardia and arrhythmia. I spent two nights in hospital on a monitor. I was released with the cardiologist telling me "There is nothing wrong with your heart. Your heart is strong! We do not know what caused your arrhythmia!" I just looked back at the labs that were drawn upon admission to ER and my Ca was 8.6, just 1/10 point above lowest range of normal for that lab. I looked back 5 years and saw my calcium was ALWAYS 10.2, 10.1 or withing 1/10 point either way. Why is calcium not checked post Prolia injection? My cardiologist told me to stop this drug. I have a sneaking suspicion that my calcium dropped below normal, the arrhythmia and HR 38-42 frightened me into calling my doctor, and by that time, my blood calcium was beginning to recover. It has been nearly two years since last injection and there have been no more episodes of bradycardia or arrhythmias, nor any fractures. Recent visit to the physician who prescribed this drug in the first place commented that "We're not doing that any more." I failed to ask her why. Thank you.

I had 5 shots of prolia. Wish I had never heard of this drug. My last shot was xmas 2020. Sufferering from mouth ulcers and oral linchen planus as a side effect of prolia since. Very uncomfortable. Is there anything I can take to get rid of this infection. Extreme pain in my lumbar back and groin region which spreads down the inside of my thigh muscles to my knees. Very difficult to walk. Also suffer from extreme tight hamstrings Have to sleep with ice packs to get any relief. Spasms in my calf muscles and twitches in my feet. Prolia has ruined my health. Didn't have pain or ache prior to taking it. Was a regular walker prior to prolia. This is a seriously dangerous drug. Nobody should take same.

and the guru endocrinologist I saw said that Prolia would reduce my fracture risk by 75% ! I knew he was fudging the stats.

I have had only three doses of Prolia and want to go off the drug. I think the drug was prescribed on the basis of an inaccurate Dexa scan on a different machine than my usual scans. I don’t want to use Fosomax when I go off Prolia. I am in good health, quite fit ( aged 71) and have had no low trauma fractures at all.

[@DrSusanBrown]

HI Geraldine, We understand how scary it can be when a doctor prescribes bone drugs. Thank you for reaching out with your question. As Prolia is a medication prescribed to treat osteoporosis, decisions regarding medication should always be made in consultation with your healthcare provider, as they have access to your complete medical history and can provide personalized guidance based on your unique situation. That said, a T-score of -1.8 for your spine and hips being free of osteoporosis is a positive sign. Lifestyle factors, including a balanced diet rich in bone-healthy nutrients, weight-bearing exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, can contribute to bone health. If you would like to discuss your case directly, we offer online group Q+A sessions monthly called 'Office Hours' where yourself and others in similar situations can ask Dr. Brown your questions: shop.betterbones.com/products/office-hours-w-dr-brown?_pos=1&_sid=5a44b6dbc&_ss=r You can also learn more in our bone health online courses: shop.betterbones.com/pages/courses

Hello Doctor I Receive Prolia shot every six months for Some reason I missed receiving the shot and doctors office told me that it’s been six months which I’ve never done that before but they didn’t send me any reminder I requested that they will send me a reminder and it didn’t happen and I request it again the question is that’s probably needs to be billed up in a blood again in order to be effective

I just took my first Prolia injection a couple of months ago and since then I constantly feel like I have cold, with ear aches, cold sores. After reading all the comments, I don’t think I want to continue on it. What I don’t understand is why do you have to take calcium while taking Prolia. What does Prolia do to your bones then?

I was put on PROLIA with scan numbers that actually indicate osteopenia according to second opinion Dr. There was an interruption in PROLIA for 18 months with no problems but I was strongly encouraged to get a third injection in March 2020 which I did I have complained of skin lesions, UTIs and earaches and severe bone pain since my first injection but was advised there is no relationship to PROLIA. I’m ten months out since last injection and am being warned that I must have another injection to prevent vertebral fractures. I truly dread another round Am I in danger if I opt out ? I am not prone to fractures and my diet is excellent as is my weight bearing exercise routine yet I feel like I am walking a tightrope of conflicting information

[@sheilarae6389]

Wow; thank you for the information I like the idea of building new bones; not just maintaining osteopenia/ osteoporosis Asking what is the cause is a great question I think that is what is wrong with our medical system; the treat the symptoms and do not cure the root causes Thank you for sharing information

Hi Sheila! Thanks for your wonderfully insightful comment!

Osteoporosis is a disease of low estrogen. HRT has not been recommended?

[@DrSusanBrown]

Low estrogen can be one of the contributing factors for Osteoporosis. Here is a list of the many causes of Osteoporosis ecs.page.link/dkeKS. Also here is a blog article from our Better Bones Blog on HRT's and fractures that maybe of interest to you. ecs.page.link/oPFVQ

[@indram5384]

Eat lots of good vegetables and fruits, grains, drugs also will give side effects.

I am 69, have had osteoporosis since my 40's & took Fosamax years ago, before it had a generic available. I took it 5 yrs as directed and maintained T scores but years after continued to lose more density. I had been monitoring my loss but no Dr told me about new drugs available to actually build bone until about 3 years ago. Thank goodness my new PC sent me to a specialist who recommended 2 bone building drugs. I took as directed, Forteo, a daily self injected shot for 2 years and BD test showedimprovement SPINE - 2.8 After Forteo -2.8 After Evenity -2.0. 2016, T score, TOTAL HIP -3.9, After Forteo -3.4 After Evenity, -3.2 2016, T score, FEMORAL NECK -2.9 After Forteo, -2.9 After Evinity, -2.8 2019 T score, L WRIST, After Forteo, -5.3 After Evinity, -5.7 Both drugs helped build bone and now I have to do something to maintain it. I am doing research on Bisphosphonates, pills, Fosamax, Actonal or Boniva or one- time IV Reclast . Dr said some have started another 1 yr of Evenity, after a year break. Not sure what I will do then but I am pleased with having BD improvement for now and will take something to maintain. However, leaning on NOT taking Prolia or Reclast as I want to be able to stop, without loss, at any time IF I have side effects.. If you have any suggestions or comments I would like to hear your advise. TNX, Sheryl
