I took Re-Clast 3/24/25 and had a horrible experience for two weeks which I have commented on. I can tell you I seem to have weathered the initial storm and am currently not experiencing side effects. I am hoping this continues. If I remain without the pain for the next year, I probably will do one more that my doctor wants me to. In the meantime, do bone strengthening exercises, eat healthy, take calcium and vitamin D as instructed by your physician. Here is my previous comment: "I am 73 and I received my first infusion of Reclast on Mar. 24, 2025. I..."+ (show)
I had a Reclast Infusion 3/24/25 and I have been feeling poorly since and today is 4/13. I got the pain in the left eyeball and thought my head was going to explode the day after infusion. I too saw eye doc and he did not see that I needed steroid drops. The pain finally subsided but it went to back of neck & shoulder . Then it went from there after 3 days into my right jaw where I had teeth removed (I was on Prolia and used oral surgeon one year before). It has subsided after 3 days. I’m better today but still feel crummy. Pain has subsided🤞I am a long term chronic pain patient on pain meds as well. I will tell you I had to use six Tylenol 500 mg each for two days and least two 500 mg since the infusion with normal pain meds. This morning I woke up headache free and yesterday. I’m hoping I can do a little housework starting tomorrow. This will be 12 days in bed mostly for me. I suffered agonizing bone pain with Prolia (4 shots over 2 yrs. Pain started last year so I refused to take. Due to fracture risk they put me on this and I’m reluctant to do it again) Prolia about killed me last year. I couldn’t bend over to pick something off floor and woke up in morning not knowing if I could get up in so much pain. I really thought I was going to die (it was so bad). I couldn’t walk. I missed Christmas and New Years with family. Too much pain. I am hoping to feel better, but I can’t hold my breath. I’ll update in a few days. These drugs are powerful and I wish I had never heard of them. Now I’m stuck because I have spondylitis, severe scoliosis and no space disc in back. Oh and I want to mention my hands hurt so bad I couldn’t cook for several days. It’s been hell for me. Think twice before you do these drugs. It’s a lifetime you have to continue.”
