Hello. I hope your post-Reclast side effects go away soon. My first infusion was on Feb 1 this year. I had the flu like symptoms for a few days as my doc had warned me of. But I also had extreme knee pain in both so I had to pull myself up the stairs using my arms on the railing. That continued, as well as other joints such as neck, hips, elbows and hands, for 2-3 weeks. Prior to my infusion, I’d been going to the gym 4 or 5 times a week. After 3 weeks I called my rheumatologist and she said to see another doc for imaging of my knees. I feel like the Reclast infusion really ramped up my areas of osteoarthritis. I will not repeat it yearly as was the original plan. Joints affected are about 50% better than those early days, but now I’m going to PT and wearing braces on knees. Exercising in the pool since it is a gentler way to try and keep up strength. I look forward to these side effects going away in time.
Best of health to you and 🙏 that you will not have lingering side effects.

I agree with your assessment! Pretty much the same
Experience after Reclast in November….But hopefully in a few months will have Dexa and see if my osteoporosis is any better or not worse!
