Question : I received a prolia injection yesterday, March 1, 2017. Approximately 5 hours after the injection I had flu-like symptoms, all over aching, is this to be expected? I also experienced weakness, tiredness, I laid down and then went to bed. I slept ok. This morning the symptoms are still with me, but to a lesser degree.
