What Causes Difficulty In Walking After Receiving A Prolia Shot?
i had a prolia shot in January of 2016. In november I fell and broke the femur of the left leg. It was pinned to the hip and I seem to be healing slowly. I fell in early January and still have trouble walking with a walker. Might the femur fracture be related to the prolia shot? Should I have another one? YYYY@YYYY

Hi,
Prolia (denosumab) is a drug for osteoporosis. Prolia itself does not cause fractures as a side effect. Osteoporosis is a medical condition which favorite the fractures. You can do another prolia shot without any worries.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
