I am so sorry that you are experiencing pain !!!!!
I understand how frustrating it is to read all the information about how these osteoporosis drugs do not cause severe side effects. I originally choose Prolia because my doctor told me that it had 15% fewer side effects than all of the other choices and that any side effects would only last 24 to 48 hours. After my second injection of Prolia I had severe muscle and joint pain that lasted for months. I refused any more Prolia and choose Reclast. I had my Reclast infusion in March. So far I have experienced muscle and joint pain that I have been able to manage with Tylenol (3,000mg) per day. I am hoping that I do not have to take another infusion of Reclast and that one year of it will protect me as a transition drug from Prolia. Right now I am dealing with the fact that two of my teeth have broken off at the gum and I do not know if I can have dental work to either pull out the roots and or get inplants since these are invasive procedures. If anyone has had invasive dental work while on Reclast I would love to hear about their experience. I have an appointment with an oral surgeon to get his advice. I continue to try to use the guide of "The Risk vs The Benefit". I hope your pain becomes less severe. My endocrinologist continues to say that side effects from these drugs are "self limiting, and will subside". I hope you are doing better!
