Does anyone have a solution to help manage Reclast side effects?

Posted by dingus @dingus, Aug 15, 2024

Does anyone have a solution to combat Reclast side effects. I had the infusion a year and a half ago and the side effects started shortly after I had the infusion. I still have weak legs, swelling in feet, pain in bones, dizziness (serious dizziness), cold sweats, tired all the time and nervous twitching in bones. Any suggestions?

Exactly. These meds work for most people, but some people do have bad reactions.

Not just women! I am a 68 male that they say I have that osteoporosis and last June 2024 and have had awful pain in both shoulders and left foot since that day. My endocrinologist say it’s not from the Reclast, I say, no more until you prove me wrong. Also had flu like symptoms and the pain at times is so bad I can’t hold my food down. 12 months later, I’m finally able to sleep through most of the night. My endocrinologist has set me up with a Rheumatologist , 01/29/2026…..Really!

I will never let them put reclasp in me again. I think it triggered n autoimmune reaction. My hands swelled so large that they had to cut my rings off. It has been 3. Weeks and I am 90% better..just some joint pains and some muscle pains.

Good to know

The dr. Will tell you it is not reclasp…ha
I think reclasp caused an autoimmune reaction..see a rheumatologist and not an endocrynologist.

Sounds like prednisone helps

I am so glad that you are feeling better. I also do not want to take Reclast, or any of the "bone medications" that are available. The side effects are too severe. I do try to live with the motto "Risk vs Benefit" , but I can't find an alternative. Is anyone taking "bio-identical hormones?" I have LCID, so I have been told that I cannot take estrogen, but I do not know what to do. I have had Shingles twice, and I react with many debilitating side effects from all of the vaccinations. I do not have any cartilage in my shoulders, but I am not well enough to have shoulder replacement surgery. I fell in February and am still recovering from multiple sacrum fractures. I have a history of rib fractures with out impact. I really don't see the best treatment for my future. Any suggestions? Thank you

Years ago family doctor recommended a bone growth like reclasp, one treatment and never again. I have seen pain management, chiropathic etc but not a rheumatologist. How did they help you with your bone pain. I have not seen a rheumatologist mentioned on this chat room before your post.
