Reclast Infusions: Side-effects & Recovery time

So sad to see that so many people have endured the side effects, at least I am not alone...I had my 1st infusion on May 19th. That very evening I had chills, headache and couldn't keep my eyes open. I woke up around 2 a.m. throwing up and couldn't sleep. Two days later, I endured neck pain, shoulder and back pain that lasted about 3 days and led to what I am experiencing now. Both of my knees are in terrible pain, I'm finding it very difficult to stand with out falling, it's difficult for me to sit on the toilet or a chair as trying to rise up leaves me in anguish and tears. I severely regret taking this infusion and can't see myself continuing treatment.

Did Dr tell you to drink alot of water before during and after. Along with tylenol
I’m so sorry you’re having such difficulty. There is such variability in people’s response to these drugs. I have some fatigue and definitely joint pain in my hands but especially in my knees. I’m walking (sometimes through pain) and getting PT which has helped so much. I agree w another reply. Hydrate profusely starting the day before treatment unless you have other medical issues preventing you. It makes a huge difference.
I hope you feel better each day.
Same here I know how bad you feel. My GP put me on prednisone for 7 days and it helped a lot. I told my rheumatologist never again

Wow! I won’t get another treatment either
