I would like to know of any side effects others may have experienced after receiving Prolia infusions. Up to now I have none.

I had the bone graft and implants at the same time. It seems to me that they used too much bone graft as I can feel bone sticking out on the side of those two teeth. You maybe had more of a 'necrosis of the jaw' and that's why yours is taking longer. Hang in there Lady. You will be put back in beautiful condition before you know it. Also, no need to worry about implants. Just make sure to floss around them well. That 'flipper' is much better than the alternative. People look so tacky with front teeth missing. In the US its usually very poor people and homeless people. What money we do have saved up is quickly taken away from us. Also on Lawyers & Settlements there is some really good reading on what Prolia does to us. People have written in hoping that their case would lead to a class action suit. Be well~

Prolia ate up the roots to that tooth or was the whole part of the jaw like necrosis of the jaw? On mine it ate the roots to two teeth in the far, far bottom back. The only thing that saved the remainder was it ran into a titanium implant and Prolia cannot get passed that. If it had not been there, I would have lost most of my bottoms. I don't understand how it does it, but there are numerous of us here with it. It's an extremely expensive side effect! The crowns alone were $4,000 and will be put on June 13. I think the implants were around $10,000. Thank you AMGEN!! My dentist remarked how fantastic my teeth are from not getting any decay. Had to have a full dental clearance for the upcoming total knee replacement because there will be no dental work after it for 6 months after. Have to have antibiotics anyway to protect the joints that have already been replaced.

I had 4 bone grafts in the front and a total of 7 implants. All top teeth. My dentist thought it would take 8 months but it took a full year for them to set well.

Thanks Linda. I've had an implant with a molar which didn't require a bone graft but apparently there quite often is a problem with lack of enough bone in the upper front teeth.I'm still hoping that after 7 months they'll be able to do the implant as wearing this "flipper" is most uncomfortable but I am too vain to be seen in public with no front tooth! where exactly did you have the bone graft....a front tooth?

It took me a full year before I could get my implants completed. I got very discouraged but it finally happened. I hated the dentures. Hang in there. Never Prolia again. It is awful.

Re tooth loss and bone grafts as a result of Prolia, I was wondering how long after a bone graft others had to wait for the actual implant. I had a bone graft 4 months ago and saw the oral surgeon yesterday. She wants me back in another 3 months for X-rays etc to see if it's progressed to the point that she can do the implant. I have been reading online that usually it can take 4-6 months. It will be 7 months since the graft. My front tooth was pulled the beginning of July last year and I have been wearing a flipper since then. I hate it and am slowly losing patience . Has anyone else had to wait what I consider a longer than normal time? Maybe it's my age and things take longer than it would for someone in their 20s and 30s!

Hi again. My Protein C Deficiency was diagnosed before the Prolia shots. My whole family including 3 of the 4 kids and six of the 9 grand-kids tested so far have either that or factor V Leiden or both so in no way can I blame the Prolia. However I have not ever suffered so many aches and pains since that first Prolia shot about 3 years ago. I was recently diagnosed with Hypothyroidism recently but that may have been present earlier but just not picked up.

I took one shot of a Prolia and all my hair started falling out. I am now taking CBD oil that is supposed to strengthen bones and help regrow my hair.

The worst fracture that happens when stopping Prolia is one in a vertebra. It heals quickly and all is well. Amgen even has this listed on their site. It's true because I got one. Be well~

Re: Marion (# 2507) Expand Referenced Message

Question please. Have you always had the Protein C deficiency or is it new with Prolia? The reason I am asking is because Prolia takes the worst of our DNA and uses it against us. We are having diseases we never knew we had in the past because Prolia brings it to the front and center. Most people with your blood clotting problem have had it since childhood. I just want to make sure I put the blame where it belongs. Yes, the neuralgia tinglings are not new here. Be well~

Marion, my husband has been on warfarin for 5 years now. Yes, it is a pain having to have your blood tested on a regular basis but it has been used for a lot longer than these new blood thinners and the specialist who my husband sees said that it has been proven effective for many, many years whereas the newer ones don't always give the same protection. Certainly they didn't with my husband. He had a stroke! he also had side effects from the newer one. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Re: Poodle (# 2503) Expand Referenced Message

Thank you for all that. I would rather go on Warfarin too since Eliquis has the same effects for me as Xarelto had. However I have no knee or hip probs so no worries there. I know that Warfarin can be a pain because of the regular blood testing but I'll check with my hematologist when I see him soon. How do you cope with it?

Welcome to the Prolia Club. As you can plainly see from thousands of posts since Prolia came out, it's NOT all in our 'heads'. It's REAL problems with our bodies and side effects from this poison. You are in charge of your body. They are not. All they can do is make suggestions. If any of the GP's are female, tell them to take Prolia and then tell you all about it first hand. You really need to get away from GP's in to Specialists. Do you have any Internal Medicine Specialists? They know a heck of a lot more than a GP does. Hope this helps and please find a Neurologist for those nerve pains you are experiencing. I know they are Prolia related due to previous posts here. Often times, really smart Docs check out this site on whether they should or should not use a medication. Hugs~

LOL. That is what is so very infuriating.

They ignore our complaints, then say they have never heard them before. Instead, they take input from Big Pharma,
knowing there is a financial interest.

Re: Marion (# 2501) Expand Referenced Message

HI~There is a shot (injection) that is VERY EXPENSIVE but it will remove that clot from your leg in a couple of minutes. Insurance does pay for it. If you let them be, it become hardened in there and then one has to have radiologist surgeons go in and clean out the vein. If it gets too hard (as left in the win for a year), then the radiologist surgeons cannot do anything about it and you have a large vein that cannot be used again so in come the varicose veins and if you ever have to have a total knee replacement, the surgeon has to know the exact location of that old clot so he does not cut into it. In my opinion, it's best to use the expensive injection and end the mess. You will still be on blood thinners until they find out what is the cause.. Mine was from being on Pred. for a full year and my Dr. did not taper me off. Just cold turkey and my blood went nutzzzz with 2 DVT's and a matching pair of saddled PE's. I was on warfarin for a couple of years and as they often happen after a major joint replacement, I will be on it for a little while this summer. Family Dr. is suggesting Eloquis but one cannot have that with spinals so it will be warfarin. Last time I used Lovenox and it was very easy. A tiny little injection into folded skin on the tummy. Sometimes our Drs. are our worst enemies even though they think they are helping us. Even my Vet for my Poodle takes her off of Pred. very, very, slowly. I think the clot buster is called T-PA but not sure. Hope this helps you some. Hugs~

See my post from May 21. The European findings base the risk of fracture on a history of falling on bone density numbers. So, unless one has a history of falling, why take these toxic drugs?

Poodle (# 2491) --

Hi and thanks for your input. I'm on blood thinner because I have Protein C Deficiency and have thromboses in my calf. Because both Prolia, Xarelto and Eliquis have given me bad side effects even though they are Rx for different problems. I have never had a fracture but the medicos threaten that I risk one if I stop Prolia. I absolutely refuse to have another shot and will change GPs again if necessary. Who knows what remarks they pass on to the next person who asks for my medical history. I did contact Amgen Aust and they said well, yes, these can be side effects but they are very rare and I could not possibly be one of those rare instances..REALLY? They asked for the name of my GP which I refused to give. Was I going to give them the name of the first guy who, when I reported my aching jaw soon after said that it was neuralgia without any check to see if this was so. Or did I give the second guy's name, the one who bullied me into taking it at least twice. Now on my third GP in 3 years, who thinks it's all in my head and who told my physiotherapist that I have no understanding of my health problems.
