Please! Look up Reclast and its potential side effects before you receive the infusion……once you receive the infusion, you cannot just take it out and be back to “normal” whatever that might be! If I had the opportunity, I would have never received the infusion. I know as well as you know, as we age we are all prone to fractures of some sort; especially hips. Until my Endocrinologist is willing to accept and agree that Reclast can and does apply certain symptoms that are very uncomfortable and can last long time!
Exercise, movement can assist in keeping your bones stronger! So, I’m told!

My infusion was a year ago this month. While the side-effects are getting fewer and farther between, I have experienced significant muscle, joint and bone pain as well as hair loss. And when I say hair loss, I mean like chemotherapy hair loss. Thankfully my dermatologist has helped me with that. I'm far more concerned about all the other side effects I had. I stopped Fosamax because of acid reflux and my acid reflux is considerably worse post Reclast so I need to follow up with another doctor for that side effect. I will never do it again. I might note I drank lots of water and followed all instructions in preparing me for the infusion.
