Reclast Infusions: Side-effects & Recovery time
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 6 days ago | Replies (805)Comment receiving replies
I'm new and I'm not sure if my response here we'll go in as a comment to the other individual with problems with the recIastdefinitely have had my own. I had my first request infusion nearly two weeks ago. The first couple days were so tough I was so sick, throwing up pretty high fever achy headache, etc. After a couple days the fever broke and I was no longer throwing up. But I still had achiness, tiredness, and quite a bit of pain in my lower back on my left side as well as swollen ankles, but no other swelling in my legs just in my ankles which my doctor thought was very weird. Then pain in my lower back which my doctor calls and my pelvic area but I say the left side of my lower back has not gone away and is quite intense, I did not have that before the infusion. The doctor called it bone pain and said it would go away but it hasn't. I don't plan in the future in getting another reclast infusion. This has been a very unpleasant experience.

Sorry to hear this and suggest you contact FDA!
If you feel that you are suffering from these medications long term to report that to FDA.
For on-line reporting to FDA: https://www.fda.gov/safety/medwatch-fda-safety-information-and-adverse-event-reporting-program
For phone reporting: 1-800-FDA-1088.
There is a lot of information online on Reclast side effects- drugs.com, the FDA and Pfizer's own drug insert: https://labeling.pfizer.com/ShowLabeling.aspx
In addition to the brief info below, Pfizer has a thorough chart with every side effect and frequency reported. Not sure why doctors don't look at this.
It is 11 weeks a d my back continues to swell and have pain.
I tried everything and finally I decided to govto a really good acupuncturist. I have had three treatments, the first two did little. After the third treatment which was monday, i had a lot of relief. He said my back was swollen e everytime I was there. Mine is all in my right side. My hands still hurt some.my knees hurt too. He is just working on my back. When I told my dr. I had all these pains he said it was not the reclast..,HA they don’t believe us. I fired him. Starte with fever the night of the shot. Pain so bad I wound up in emergency room. I guess I am lucky though. I heard from two different people who knew people who had this who wound up in bed for a year. At least I’m able to get around and just be really uncomfortable.

jaynedanco- go to the top of the page and enter reclast. Then you will get posts about that infusion. I have had infusions, but not that one.
