Reclast infusion

Sorry to hear so many people are experiencing a great deal of pain after having the Reclast infusion. None of the doctors want to address that Reclast could be the problem for so much pain. However, it sure seems to be a coincidence.
Even though I cannot say with certainty that the Reclast is causing the excruciating pain I'm having, after what I am going through I regret having the infusion. I agree that it would have been better to break a bone than to suffer night after night without much sleep, as well as a great deal of pain each and every day.
It's too bad that there is no way to reverse the infusion. I'm hoping that the spinal epidural will help, but have not scheduled an appointment.
Does anyone have experience with spinal epidurals, and what was the outcome?

My endocrinologist pharmacist shared that the Reclast remains active for up to 18 months! The severe sharp pain that I’ve been experiencing is slowly becoming a dull consistent pain or perhaps more like a weakness in my shoulders. It has been 11 months now! I am in hopes that as the days go by from this point forward the pain becomes less and my ability to get back to “ normal” if you will, returns. Having Ankolosing spondylitis is a constant pain all the time and I have dealt with that since being discharged from the military some 50 years ago. This Reclast infusion side effects is quick and sharp; often waking me up in the middle of the night with the least little movement on my part. I honestly have to say, this has gotten better over the past 6 or so months. So, maybe there is truth that the Reclast only last up to 18 months. Hang in there, exercise and yet rest when the need arrives; it will get better….i do wish the endocrinologist were a little more honest and vocal about the potential side effects rather then dismissing them!
