General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Prolia contains denosumab that is used in the treatment of bone loss or osteoporosis in people who have a high risk of getting fractures. But like other medications this medication has some side effects of its own. Prolia can cause joint pain. It may cause back pain (35%), joint pain (14.3%), arthralgia (14%), pain in extremity (12%) and many more side effects. If you notice these types of side effects, then you should inform your doctor immediately for medical help and further assessment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further

Regards,
Dr. Zubayer Alam, General And Family Physician
