Reclast BEWARE causes broken femur!
Bones, Joints & Muscles | Last Active: Apr 25 12:29pm | Replies (27)Comment receiving replies
I’m supposed to start Reclast and I’m terrified. I can’t take any oral osteoporosis drugs because I have GERD. Additionally I am terrified of the dentist and haven’t been to the dentist in well over 5 years. I think I should go before taking this medication just to make sure I have nothing wrong where I’d need anything done in my mouth which I read can cause serious problems. I simply don’t know what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.

Consider asking your doctor about Tymlos or Forteo. They are both bone building meds and do not have those side effects. They are self-given daily injections, but they are easy and do grow bone without the digestive issues or fracture side effects. We have to ask questions and if we aren’t given the answers we are looking for, seek a new doctor.

Is reclast the first osteoporosis drugs you've been prescribed?
I am assuming that you and your prescribing physician have discussed the results of your dexa scan and spoken about reclast and other drugs that are not bisphosphonates. Is she/he well trained in treating Osteoporosis? Would you share your dexa scores with us? Don't worry. You are not alone in worries about osteoporosis, all of the information out there and worries about making the best possible choices. As you read you will see that you are not alone!
