Could The Prolia Injection Have Caused More Pain?

Hi, I am a 75 year old male and had my first Prolia injection last December. At the time I had undiagnosed discitis and osteomylitis in my spine, for which I was taking painkillers and Celebrex. 9 days after having the Prolia injection, the pain became much worse by the day, and after a week it was agonising. I was hospitlaized and my condition (once diagnosed with an MRI) was treated with antibiotics for 3 months (IV and oral). I am now better although still have a little backache. My query is: it is time for the next 6-monthly Prolia injection. Was it a coincidence or do you think I should not have another one in view of the fact that it seemed to aggravate my condition?

Hi there, thanks for your question.

Prolia is an injection given to treat osteoporosis or weakness if the boea see with ageing . Your back pain can be attributed to the disctis and osteomyeltis. Once the medicines work , your pain will decrease with time.

Whereas Prolia injection as been associated with side effects of low back pain, multiple joint and muscle aches, its usually self limited. That is gets better with time.

But i would suggest you to get your injections under supervision and as per advice of your doctor in an hospital setting , ao that any side effects or pain can be dealt appropriately.

All the best, regards.
