Are you taking Reclast for osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: Feb 14 5:27am | Replies (267)Comment receiving replies
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in Feb and my endocrinologist recommended Reclast IV once a yr. After my first infusion May 6 I woke with severe pains over my body and could not walk. I had to call 911 and was hospitalized from the ER. After discharge I continued to have severe pains migrating to different body parts for over 2 wks and headaches are still waking me every morning, also migrating to different parts of my head. I have developed pulmonary emboli and my CT shows multiple segmental defects; I am sure it was the Reclast because my first symptom May 7 was feeling a band tight around my chest. 15 days after the Reclast infusion I developed double vision and am fearful of losing my eyesight.
I regret taking Reclast and feel I was not adequately warned about the serious consequences it could cause.

So sorry for your experience. Seems we start out healthier before taking some of these bone drugs.
I have osteoporosis, but otherwise healthy. This is a scary situation.
So sorry to hear your awful and frightening story. I am (reluctantly) on Prolia. To tell you the truth I find all of the osteoporosis meds scary.
I hope all of these issues (the Reclast collateral damage) resolve quickly. We are like guinea pigs.

I am so very sorry that you are having these side effects !
I have been trying to find out how to best relieve the painful muscle and joint and bone side effects. So, far the only options I have found from my doctors are Tylenol #3 and ice packs and topical creams. I switched to Reclast on March of 2022 because I refused to continue on Prolia. The side effects were severe. Now I am experiencing similar side effects from Reclast. I would love to know if these is anything that will not hurt my liver and or constipate me for a week that relieves the pain. thank you !
