Reclast infusion long term side effects
Hello,
I’m new to this forum.
I had a Reclast Infusion in May 2025. After a year dealing with knee pain issues my Dexa Scan results were terrible.
My endocrinologist had already suggested I’d need it, after doing some research I refused it for about 5 years.
Since the infusion, I’ve had digestive problems and pain on my left ribs. Strangely, on the first 24 hours after the infusion this is the exact place where I had intense sharp pain. It’s mostly during the night and in the morning.
Anyone experiencing the same?
Thank you!

@broken13 did u have forteo side effects? At all even mild? DID IT MAKE U GAIN WEIGHT. ?
@penny57 yes I've read of those exact symptoms and also of it causing peripheral neuropathy and numbness in legs and feet, and causing eye and ear problems that meant surgery for ear in people, etc.
@dannyandebbie that's why the endos and rheumatolofmgusts do cuz they don't want to believe they are cause cuz they put patients on this shit poison. Yes its helped some people but its plating Russian roulette for those unlucky to get more hirrible side effects that don't stop cuz it never really leaves your body for 10 years.

2 Reactions@lovesummer from what I hear, we will be lucky if it Ever leaves our bodies! One thing for sure, if I could go back in time I know I would Never take it, nor will I ever again! I do wish the FDA would get more involved!
Hi did u see my post where I gave the telephone numbers and other directions to fill out a firm online at FDA Medwatch Portal go online search for that and ""report a problem" then select consumer/ Patient firm and fill it out or search for form 3500 B to fill it out online and send it to them or call 1-800-332-1088 to report side effects or mail letter with all pertinent info and request drugs be banned or taken off market or revamped to not cause jaw rot and atypical femur and hip fractures etc. Or send letter to FDA Medwatch Food and Drug administration at 5600 Fishers LANE Rockville Martmyland 20857-9787. IF THEY DONT RECEIVE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF THESE IN ANY WAY U CAN TO THEM: THEY WILL JUST IGNORE AND DO NOTHING. IT WILL TAKE ALL OF US BANDING TOGETHER TO DO THIS. MY NUMBER ONE OF THEM IN MY ORIGINAL PIST FOUND OUT AFTER I HIT SEND WAS A FAX NO. DONT CALL 1-800- 332- 0178 ITS A FAX USE THE 1-800-332-1088 NUMBER INSTEAD. THANK U. Remeber: THERE IS STRENGTH IN NUMBERS.

3 Reactions@lovesummer Yes. I had some side effects, which are manageable. This is my second round of Forteo and the side effects are about the same as the first time, so I was prepared. Some stomach indigestion, slight headache and dizziness, so I took the shot at night before bed. I find a bit of Brian fog but very manageable. And after 6-8 weeks side effects very manageable. You are building bone and that's how I looked at it. It's working. Also I gained about 7 pounds the first time, which I easily lost once done. This second round I gained about that, but payed more attention this time and eliminated night snacking and weight came right off. I think Forteo/teriparatide is a life saver for someone with very severe osteoporosis .
@lovesummer They need to take this poison Reclast off of the market!!!!🤬

Yes. I put on 8lbs in the 3rd month of Evenity and an additional 3lbs after the Reclast injection. I had been at a stable weight for years, know how to be on a maintenance diet, etc.
