Hopefully time will lessen your symptoms and pain. I’m a male; 17 months out from having my first and last Reclast infusion. I developed severe pain in both shoulders and my left foot. It started out not being able to move without severe pain and discomfort; would wake me 4-5 times a night. I also found the more I made myself move the better throughout my day was; although I would pay for it at night! 17 months out, shoulders do not constantly lock up like they did. My arms now have this tingling pain off and on and left foot flares up randomly. I take no medication for the pain outside extra strength Tylenol as needed and go to physical therapy biweekly. I had zero symptoms prior to the Reclast infusion.
I also reported my issues with the FDA, hopefully others do the same!
I’ll provide their link! Best of luck!
Stay positive!
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.

@dannyandebbie I'm sorry to hear that you are also having severe issues after your Reclast infusion. I have yet to contact the FDA, but will do so. Wondering if you have contacted Novartis directly to let them know what you are experiencing? I haven't yet, but will likely do so.
