Reclast Infusions: Side-effects & Recovery time

Had my first (& probably only!) Reclast last November. A couple days later woke up to greatly swollen knee ( just right one) where I couldn’t bend past 30°, or put weight on it as it was very painful. Felt fluid all around it. Living in a 3 story house was hard!
I laid on the couch & used cold packs on it. After a few days put a light compression wrap to help resolve the swelling.
Thankfully it returned to normal after a week and seems fine.
I felt crappy for a couple months- tired, achy, nausea- but feel mostly normal again.
My endocrinologist suggested Tymlos or even a 2nd round of Evenity in the future.
I don’t think I want anything for a good while.

You can take a 2nd round of evenity after being on something else? That would be great. Am on it now and no side effects

Taking medication for osteoporosis requires a risk/reward calculation. My primary care physician, who is not a medication pusher, suggested Evenity because my osteoporosis was pretty bad. I went through my 12 shots without side effects. I had my Reclast infusion on May 9th and reported flu like symptoms for a day and a half and thought that was the end of it. But on May 16th I started having major digestive problems and aches & pains in various bones and joints. My bone scan did reveal significant improvement so the Evenity was worth it. I won't have another infusion of Reclast. I already had one hip replaced because of arthritis and osteophytes. Now my other hip is giving me problems. If I have that one replaced, I won't need to worry about hip fractures! BTW, I am 73.

I am seeing a nephrologist this week to see if my kidneys can handle even a 20% dose of Reclast. Was in the ER last night and eGFR was low again at 37. I am seeking a second opinion on next steps scheduled for 6/30, infusion of Reclast is scheduled for 7/10, and I talk again to Dr. McCormick in between. I have started my last pen of Tymlos so that sets a time limit on my deliberations!

I posted previously about having random joint, muscle, and bone pain starting after my Reclast infusion. Other people have mentioned a host of bad reactions and I am wondering how long they lasted. Thanks.

I have early stage kidney disease same,low gfr. My rneumato.ogist never said anything g about kidney problems may need to see GP for follow up blood work

Am on Evenity with no side effects. Considering reclast after that.
If something would happen needing any tooth extraction is it hard to find a dentist to take you?
Is there any other drug that would be acceptable to them?
Thanks I go every 3 months for cleaning.

I've had two Reclast infusions in the last two years. The first infusion coincided with an infected tooth that needed to be removed. I went to my regular dentist and he refused to do the extraction. I was referred to a "specialist" Dental surgeon who of course was not in my dental insurance "network" and had two teeth extracted by the specialist. Of course it came with an extraordinary price tag as well. Had no issues with healing other than I'm on blood thinners for a heart stent and it seemed to take an extra long time for the bleeding to stop. I have never had any side effects with the Reclast and to be honest have felt no different and really don't know what it did for me.
