High anxiety regarding Reclast or Prolia decison for OP meds

I ended up doing the Reclast infusion in early December. It was a hard decision, I didn't want to do either! I have researched and scrambled down every rabbit hole in hopes of finding the right answer. I didn't feel comfortable following the Prolia with the Evenity, which was the sequence my Dr wanted to follow. There was/is not much research to back that up even though I see Amgen promoting that. Just for my own knowledge, I want to know more about that. The Reclast infusion was rough, not gonna lie, haha. Basically 3 days of achy joints and hurting all over. I did hydrate very well for days before and after. I also followed a schedule of Tylenol before the infusion and for 3 days after. Maybe 4. I did take one Claritin before the infusion. I don't see my Dr til August, so I'm not sure what she will want me to do regarding medication. But her last thoughts were to follow up with Evenity. I'm fine with that!!

@255anny, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I'm still going down rabbit holes and applaud you for having made a decision! 🙂 The sequencing situation is very confusing. I'm seeing more references to Prolia followed by Evenity, but that does seem new. Can you remind me if you had had any Prolia injections before you opted for the Reclast?
Am sorry you had such a tough response to the Reclast infusion, but I'm grateful you let me know that's a possibility, even in spite of really good prep -- which you obviously did. But I'm glad to hear the aches and pain passed in a few days. Wishing you all the best going forward!
