I have heard horror stories about some infusion therapies I.E. Prolia and Forteo. How likely is it that someone suffers necrosis of the jaw, joint pain and other things that are posted on the internet?
I had hip fracture last August and still use awalker. I am 81 is this normal
Tell me about side effect of the infusion
Terrible thing to say
Has anyone had the infusion treatment for osteoporosis. I'm to have it Tuesday and don't know what to expect.
@faith123, this is an archived video from a past Q&A. The physicians are no longer taking any questions. I suggest posing this same question in the discussion called Treating Osteoporosis. You can find that discussion by clicking here, http://mayocl.in/29cSR8d.
My husband has multiple myeloma with bone involvement & has a monthly infusion of the bone strengthen Zometa (Zolendronic Acid). It is very effective & only takes 15-20 minutes. However, they must do blood tests before infusion and that adds at least an hour.
Hello @seamaiden and welcome to Connect. This Q&A took place in the past and the physician's are no longer fielding questions.
I suggest posting your concerns and questions about multiple myeloma to the members discussing multiple myeloma. You can find one of those discussions here, http://mayocl.in/2mm0hS6. In that discussion you will connect with members who may have similar experiences as your husband and may be able to offer some insight.
