When I got my infusion in June it hit my muscles, especially my back my joints and wound up in emergency room. My hands swelled up like the Pillsberry puff boy. They had to cut my rings off. My doctor refuses to believe it was the reclast. Of course it all started the night. I took it with fever chills, swelling .
I am switching doctors.
It will be six months soon and I’m still having back pain knee pain and sometimes pain in my fingers and wrist. Nothing is as bad as it was. I did have acupuncture and I think it helped.
I have been reading things about the auto immune system that have changed since we had the Covid vaccine. Possibly this was a reaction because of Covid vaccine made my immune system go into overdrive. I felt like my body was attacking itself.
Just know that things to get better, but it’s very slow.

@kaybollinger79 it has been 18 months for me since I had my infusion. The day after the infusion it was a 10! Arms, shoulders, left foot, stomach cramps, nausea feeling after consuming anything. In 18 months with physical therapy and visualization therapy I’m down to a 2 on a good day and maybe a 4 on a bad day. I know that sounds like a long time but one thing about retirement, the days seem to fly by! I feel the best advice is to try and stay positive, there are people out there a lot worse that I and when feeling a tad overwhelmed I try to sit calmly and visualize a quiet peaceful place and try to put both mind and body into this scene, helps relax!
