Reclast side effects 3 months post-infusion

I had bone pain while on Fosamax; doc had me take a 2-week holiday twice during that year. Fosamax was suggested after first appointment with endo April 2025 after dexa scan showed osteoporosis. Had a Reclast infusion July 2026; handled it fine BUT have had on and off bone pain in various body parts for roughly 8 months. Started to clear up; currently very little bone pain (due for second Reclast infusion but not yet scheduled). Doctor said bone pain not from Reclast. But while on fosamax (another bisphosphonate) he had me take a break due to bone pain? Drug literature says it is a side effect, so ?

@jozer Similar story. I started getting joint pain at month 5 of Evenity and it increased to month 9 when I quit. I followed up with Reclast which I had taken before with no problems. But...within a day the pain in my right wrist increased significantly then my left. Fortunately, like your experience, the pain decreased over a year or so. I have a good 80-90% recovery. Of course, I'm in my late 70's so some could be aging. I took weekly Actenol after that. I figured with its' 30 day half life if there was a problem I could just stop. It didn't bother me. I'm on a drug hiatus now and I'm seriouly considering taking only Forteo or Tymlos, bone builders, if I take anything at all.
For what it is worth, most people have no or very little problems with Evenity or Reclast. It just varies from person to person.
By the way my spine improved from -3.9 to -3 but more importantly to me the trabecuar bone density, measure of bone quality, went to normal. So a good result.

@jozer
I’d like more explanation from your doctor…that seems like rather conflicting info…
