Anyone have a problem with prolina? I'm 1 month out from my first shot and have lots of leg/hip/ankle pain (seeing dr. this week).

    I am sorry that you are having trouble with this. Unfortunately, I do not have any experience with the drug. I hope that there is someone here that can give you some of their experience. Let us know what the doctor has to say. Take care.

    When you say "1 month out," do you mean a month AFTER the shot or that you're getting it in a month? In either case it probably is the Arimidex, not the Prolia (no "n"). I had the 3-yr series (6 shots total) and never had so much as a sore arm. The symptoms you describe are characteristic of the joint pain caused by drastic reduction in estrogen production. I was on an AI (Femara) for 6-1/3 years, and among the early side effects was joint osteoarthritis. That you are getting these pains is evidence that you definitely need bone-strengthening medication. Also, if the joint pain is one-sided, see an orthopedist or even a podiatrist. You may have one hip higher than the other (due to scoliosis or a short leg), which can throw everything out of whack. Even corrective orthotics might even things out.
