I took my first Reclast infusion in November 2025 felt like I had the flu for about 3 days. Approximately a week later I started have the most intense femur pain. I could barely walk. I had a total hip replacement about 12 years ago at the age of 40. I saw my orthopedist because I was out of my mind with pain. Come to find out I had a huge bone growth at the end of my implant which he believes is causing my issue. He had said he could change out my. Prosthesis which would entail windowing open my femur and chiseling out the implant and doing a cage to repair the femur. This sounds horrible but I’ve been in such pain what do you do? I hate pain medicine but the surgery sounds horrible. Sure wish I knew what I know now about Reclast. I wonder what percentage of patients have this horrible side effect?

@ivstarter39 not a scientific response, but from reading posts here, Reclast is not an easy drug for many….and the side effects can last quite awhile…one wishes there was a test docs could do to see how well a patient might do…there are genetic and enzyme tests that oncologists use before initiating certain treatments and they are largely helpful.

@ivstarter39

How was the determination made that the last was responsible?

@ivstarter39 I wonder how many cases as well! Reclast has changed my life and currently, 19 months out and still have some really bad side effects. Had I known this would happen I never would have received the infusion
