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

Posted by dingus @dingus, Aug 15, 2024

Does anyone have a solution to combat Reclast side effects. I had the infusion a year and a half ago and the side effects started shortly after I had the infusion. I still have weak legs, swelling in feet, pain in bones, dizziness (serious dizziness), cold sweats, tired all the time and nervous twitching in bones. Any suggestions?

@nycmusic Hi, I have had at 3 infusions of Reclast. I guess I've been lucky, and have never had any side affects/reactions. I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis, but recently was told it hasn't done a thing fore me. Now, I need a hip replacement. My endocrinologist wants me to start taking Prolia. I am a kidney transplant patient, so I need to discuss this with him first. Has anyone taken Prolia and has it helped? Thank you

Prolia also has a good safety profile with kidney transplant patients. But you were on an antiresorptive for three years "that hasn't done a thing" for you. You might discuss this with your endocrinologist. You might also insist on bone markers to protect yourself against potentially harmful medications that aren't effective for you.
Forteo helps to integrate hardware used in hip replacement, and speeds healing. Be sure and ask the endocrinologist what medication would follow Prolia.
Best wishes for successful hip replacement.
