honestly - give it some time. It sounds like its working for you! There are tests to ask your doctor about P1NP, CTX, bone imaging and DEXA scans. If you see the numbers going in your favor you might feel better about ingesting the "poison." (it does feel that way, right?!) I have been on other really HORRID medications but my first Reclast was unbelievably bad. you are having bone aches because the medicine IS stimulating your system to do what the medicine is for. Don't give up. I was promised it wouldn't be bad when I go next time. The research does substantiate that! (I read it) but they put me on the Tymlos so I get a break for 3 years before I get another Reclast. Its the Cadillac of the bone meds so get the support you need to stay the distance! Talk with your doctor's endocrinology team if they have one. Call the pharmaceutical company too. Six months after I did the reclast I had an xray of my spine. Six months after that I had another xray. My surgeon could SEE my bones were denser!!! Hopeful, for sure! Good luck.
