I had the infusion about 6 weeks ago. I have had increased joint pain. I would not recommend it unless it is your last resort. I had fallen and fractured my hip and about 4 months later had fallen again. I did not hurt myself at all on the second fall. However it scared me so I did the reclast. I think working on balance, taking bone supplements, etc. can help. Now alot of people have no side effects so you might be one of those. I have a friend who had none, and another who had some minor joint pain that did not last.
