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
Hi there, thanks for your question. Prolix is an injection given to treat osteoporosis or weakness if the Boer see with aging. Your back pain can be attributed to the discuss and osteomyelitis. Once the medicines work, your pain will decrease with time. Whereas Prolix 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 a hospital setting, AO that any side effects or pain can be dealt appropriately. All the best, regards.
