Most people who take Reclast do just fine. The problem is that the people who have problems are much more likely to post about it. If you read the message boards on just about any medication, you'd think the pharmaceutical industry is actively trying to kill everyone. 🙂

Diet and walking aren't going to do the job.

I'm 86. I had terrible bone pain from Reclast and opted not to have it again.
This year my rheumatologist had me try Prolia. Some bone soreness, hair falling out, & some edema. I'm not going to take the next shot. However, I will continue going to Pilates twice a week. Also, I have eaten a whole foods plant based diet for 15 years. My numbers are all good & I don't have to take meds. I am allergic to statins anyway. I had to be on prednisone for two years due to an autoimmune issue. The prednisone did a number on my bones. Stay healthy!

It has been just one year for me and since the day after the infusion I have been experiencing sharp pain in both shoulder and my left foot. I’ve been going to Physical therapy and it has helped. I’ve also found that the more active I try to be the less the pain. One day the weather was awful so I spent a good share of the day laying low and I could hardly move my arms by days end. My “ T” score is a little better and my endocrinologist wants me to have another infusion but I have decided to not go this root. He doesn’t feel that the Reclast caused this issue and has referred me to a rheumatologist. I’ll decide more after I go there, only issue is my appointment with the rheumatologist is not until 01/29/2026; booked way out! Good luck whatever way you go! I too have had cancer with chemo treatment each time (5 times now, bladder cancer) I feel terrible and have issues with respiratory issues for like 6 month with antibiotics.
