bone pain four months after Reclast Infusion

I received my first infusion March 2024. It is now December and I am still having serious stiffness and pain, mostly in my thighs, that I did not have before the infusion. I'm athletic, so I am very aware of my body and how it reacts to exercise. After the infusion, I have tried to keep up my activity level, but I always pay for it with a lot of pain, often so bad that I can barely walk and have to cling to bannisters to go up an down stairs. My husband often has to help me. I take anti-inflammatory meds which help but you just can't take a lot of those. If I don't move, I have only mild discomfort, but I need exercise! My endocrinologist has told me that her patients don't have continued pain, so I felt dismissed. I'm not sure I want to keep getting these injections. If the pain had gone away, I would continue, but it has not.

I continue to follow this thread because of similar symptoms. My leg pain began 2-3 months after my January infusion. It lasted with some variation for about 3 months then stopped. That was encouraging and as I was going on a much anticipated trip, it was welcome. I felt almost normal late July through November then it began again. Nights are the worst. Standing from a sitting position is very uncomfortable and I need to get my leg settled weight wise before walking. I've tried balancing activity with rest with mixed results. The latest onset seems to have been triggered by more than usual activity preparing for guests for Thanksgiving. It's been about 3 weeks of this and I am hopeful it will one day disappear again. It's exhausting. Tylenol doesn't help much and I am reluctant to take too much ibuprofen though sometimes I do several days of it to get on top of things with some short term relief. I will not take again when due in January and have discussed with my doctor who has acknowledged the symptoms some 30-40% have. I hope you will soon find some relief and will continue to follow this thread.
