Hi All,
I wondered if anyone had experienced jaw/teeth pain with Denosumab injections. My jaw gas been very painful recently, throbbing and aching and I'd love to hear if this has happened to anyone else.
Thanks so much for listening x
Hi Lolly P
I'm not on Denosumab but these are possible side effects associated with it. You will see that it says "Tell your cancer team and dentist straight away if you have any of these symptoms" one of which is pain and swelling in your jaw, as it can be a sign of osteonecrosis. Hopefully it won't be anything as dramatic as that but it would be best to speak to someone to rule it out.
Have you managed to speak to someone in your team?
Yes, I've had my teeth and jaw checked at the dentist and all seems OK so not sure what the problem is. Still wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.
That's a relief
((hugs))
