← Return to bone pain four months after Reclast Infusion

For about 3 months after my first Reclast infusions, I had intermittent pains moving through different parts of my body. One shoulder locked up on me, I wasn't able to turn my head for a few days, there was pretty intense pain in my right calf muscle. After about 3 months this ' floating' pain disappeared. I had the other 2 infusions the following 2 years with no side effects at all. With bone density testing afterwards, there was quite a notable strengthening of both my right hip and spine. It is a big decision getting infusions and also continuing with the whole course. I hope that your discomfort subsides and that your final outcome is as positive as mine.

So you received 3 Reclast infusions. May I ask what is next?

Thank you. I, too, have had intermittent floating pain since my since my first Reclast infusion three weeks ago. My first symptom appeared 6 hours after the infusion: abdominal pain so severe, I considered going to the ER. It was then accompanied by the common side effects that I was warned about by my doctor: chills, fever, headache. I also had and scary moment of an elevated heart rate. Everything subsided within two to three days, except for the headaches which developed into more severe headaches everyday for 12 days that correlated with severe neck pain. The headaches are gone but not my neck pain although it’s getting better. As far as intermittent, floating pain, I experienced them once on my right thigh, once my left hip, and once my lower back — the strange thing is that they came on strong out of nowhere and lasted for an hour and disappeared. Desperate for relief for my ongoing neck pain, I went to a chiropractor who suspected the headaches were due to occipital neuralgia. I am someone who rarely gets headaches or neck pain so I’m convinced this is all because of the infusion. I have a neurology appointment for an explanation about the headaches and a follow-up endocrinology appointment this week. I’n only three weeks in since Reclast but I’m going to share your experience with my endocrinologist when I see her. After this infusion, I’m really concerned about staying on it but I’m happy to hear that you didn’t have any symptoms after your subsequent ones. What did your doctor say about your floating pain?

(BTW, I’m 60 years old. Very petite. Healthy and active. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis last year. I did the full course of Evenity as my first osteoporosis treatment last year with no symptoms.)
