I already have rheumatoid arthritis and my endocrinologist recommended Reclast because I am unable to take the oral medication due to GERD.

I’m terrified to take this medication and also am hesitant because I am scared to death of the dentist and haven’t been to one in a few years. I know it can mess up your jaw if I’d require dental work/surgery if I had the infusion. Anyone know of a different medication (not oral) that doesn’t have as many concerning side effects? I’m also 70 years old.

Are you doing your own research on osteoporosis meds? Why is your endocrinologist chosen reclast? I have no recommendations about which meds are appropriate for you because I am not a doctor but I think it is always wise to do your own research so that you can engage with your doc about the rational and also to discuss drug sequencing with some sort of long term plan. Good luck
