Hello, Has anyone had jaw problems possibly due to the Prolia injection? I was told I have small bone fragments in my gum near my lower moler. Now my dentist suggests that I see an oral surgeon. I'm so upset! I only had one injection last June. Well, needless to say, I'm not going to subject myself to possible problems in the future. I know there are possible problems if you have a tooth removed or impending serious dental work. She thinks it's due to the shot. I've read that one could have possible jaw bone degenerating loss. I'm scared to death & there's now cure for bone loss. Thank you for any input is much appreciated.

    Yes that's one of the side

    Yes that's one of the side effects but you can only get advice from the Dr's because every case is different. Are you taking calcium with vitamin D? You should be. Talk to your oncologist. They need to know about side effects. Hopefully there's no more degeneration if that's what it is.
