I had Reclast infusions for about 3 years in my early 50's. I had no side effects. I discontinued because my insurance deductible went up so high. When I was 65, a bone scan showed I was now at -4.5 in my lumbar spine and my hips were osteopenia. I went to a PA that was not obviously well-read about osteoporosis. I asked him to set me up for a Reclast infusion. Six months after the first infusion, I had some lower back pain but I am not sure if that was the Reclast. My bone density in my spine improved 6.1 percent that year. I had another Reclast infusion the next year and only improved .1 percent. I started Prolia 8 months ago. I have no side effects and actually my spine doesn't hurt in places it use to! I also eat 6 prunes daily, eat my daily need of natural calcium and take Vitamin D and Vitamin K. I walk 45 minutes a day and lift weights. I hope this helps.
