You can google law suits. Some of them are old. I don't think they will win but it's good to put companies on notice. Reclast does help a lot of people and some of us are harmed.

@dingus can you tackle each side effect one by one? I am dizzy a lot. And have pain. And some GI effects. My tinnitus is worse. I am trying to deal with each while deciding whether to continue.

I don't post often about my reactions because I am so sensitive and I don't want to discourage others from trying meds. At the same time we need a place to share and vent, especially when doctors don't listen to our side effect stories.

Windyshores, Trying to get this out to you and I just lost a couple of paragraphs. Trying again. I want to say first of all that I hadn't read anything regarding Reclast side effects when I started experiencing these pains etc. I had the infusion in February of 2023. The day after, I woke up with major pain in my shoulders. I've never had shoulder pain. It got better over the next couple of weeks. Then I started having excruciating pain in my right foot when I went from a sitting to a standing position. I called my PCP and told her I needed an x-ray because I thought my foot was broken. The x-ray showed nothing. Since then, the shoulder pain has subsided but the foot pain has come back about three times. It lasts about a week each time. Other side effects that I've had since the Reclast infusion are weak legs, swelling in feet, pain in legs, and toes (toe pain so bad I sometimes cannot sleep) numbness in my right leg, dizziness (serious dizziness) cold sweats, unable to regulate my body temperature, headaches. These all come and go. Thank goodness they don't all come at the same time. I've talked to several doctors of different persuasions, but no one can give me a good answer as to why I'm having these side effects (Of course, I'm convinced it's the Reclast due to the sequence of events), or, more importantly, how to fix the problems. It stays in your body for five years. Is this what I have to look forward to for the next three and a half years?? WindyShores or anyone, let me know if you have any questions.
