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

I appreciate your post. I don't know if the following link helps with anything. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10404464/.
It could be that you could have the tests that were run on this woman. I wonder how many other Reclast calamities are called old age. I have heard that IV steroids are the most helpful.

Had my first (and last) Reclast infusion in August 2024 at the urging of my PCP and an Endocrinologist. Was fine for the first 2 months, then began experiencing some migratory hip pain, then started having trouble sleeping on my sides, turns out, I developed Gluteal Tendinopathy, I'm a 68 year old female, I have some mild osteoarthritis in hips and knees, so every Dr I've seen brushes off my pain as "old age" and/or "arthritis". I had been begging my Dr for an MRI since May of this year, to take a look at my hips. Instead she ordered more X-rays, which showed the same mild arthritis that I've had for a few years now with little change. She sent me off to PT, which I've done for 4 months now. The pain continues and is worsening. I was then referred to a Sports Medicine Dr. who injected hydrocortisone into my Bursa Sacs, for the the Gluteal Tendinopathy and injected hyaluronic acid into my hips. Both gave very temporary relief. I asked that Dr to order an MRI and was told "it's not time". A couple of months later, I was referred to an Orthopedic PA and I again begged my referring PCP for an MRI to have ready for the Ortho appt and she did order it but only on the right hip, because that is the side with the most pain and I was having difficulty lifting that leg (really think it should have been a bi-lateral MRI, since the pain migrates between the two hips). The results came in an hour before the Ortho appt and it shows a Labral Tear in the right hip, something you normally see as a result of a sports injury. I have now been given crutches and told to be non-weight bearing on my right hip for 4-5 weeks, to see if the tear will repair itself (from what I'm reading, Labral Tears, do not self-repair). In the meantime, I am putting all my weight on my left leg/hip, which has developed a tight IT band and a tinking sound (like a tight guitar string). To think that I took Reclast to help with osteoporosis and ended up with all these joint (hips and knees), muscle, ligament, tendon, issues and a Labral tear. I am not an athlete. I didn't injure myself before or after the Reclast. There is no other explanation for everything that I'm now experiencing, other than the Reclast. It has severely, negatively affected my life. Prior to the Reclast infusion, I was healthy. Would hike with my kids, walk my dog every day, 2-4 miles per day. Ride my bike. Not any more. Now I am hobbling around on crutches, everyday, while one Dr after the next, kicks the can down the road, while telling me I'm just an older woman with arthritis.

So sorry for your sufferings with Reclast! Your story touches all of us that were prescribed this medicine, and had trust in our doctors. I suspect that the whole situation with medicines for OP reflects little attention that is given in medicine and society to people of older age with the logic that illness and sufferings belong to this age.
Best wishes to you, and please inform about further developments.

@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.

Just had my first infusion a few days ago. Did the whole hydration/Tylenol/ antihistamine prep beforehand, during, and after. Now have pretty severe tinnitus and starting to have bone pain and dizziness as well. Things I'm considering to help, some per this thread: chlorophyll, dexamethasone, red light therapy, activated charcoal. Will report back!

Wow! Thanks everybody for your comments. I had the same response from my doctor, "It's not the Reclast. Go see your primary care doc." My primary care doc just gives me a blank stare. How can you get help when no doctor will at least entertain the thought that it might be the Reclast!! I'm going to another endocrinologist on Monday. I'll see how that goes. In the meantime I'm going to try walking, a heating pad and chlorophyll. And, yes, where do you find chlorophyll? Does it require a prescription?

I had very severe reactions to Reclast. The FDA insert said to expect some joint pain 2-3 days after, which I had. Then, things were ok for about a week and a half. Then, one morning, I woke up in severe joint pain ALL OVER! It was so bad, I could not get out of bed. Called my endocrinologist and of course, she said she’s never heard of this. I read the FDA Drug insert for Reclast and yes, there were a percentage of patients with this severe joint pain following the IV Infusion. All I can say is I will never, ever take that infusion again!
I believe each one of you saying you had pain after this infusion. It’s poisonous!
