Reclast Infusions: Side-effects & Recovery time
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (605)Comment receiving replies
I had reclast last Friday and woke up Sunday with pain in bones, joints and muscle. Also been having headaches. I am very tired. I have a hematoma from the injection and I feel there must of been some leaking from the IV. It is very painful. The swelling has gone down, but it all the way up to the side of my elbow. They didn't tell me to drink a lot of water. I feel that would of helped not have these side effects. My pain is better today, but still there.

Many of you have already read some of my posts-but for those for those of you who have not read them-
I had a Reclast infusion a year ago this month. My first side effects were horrible bone pain throughout my body. I could not sleep -all I could do was pace the floor. I had this horrible bone pain for 2 weeks. Side affects did start to subside but it did not go away completely. I had horrible headaches, insomnia, jaw pain, night sweats, fatigue, chills, a rash, feet and hands swollen, and back pain. By last September I was experiencing less severe side affects but as of now I still have many of them but to a lesser degree.
I can handle pain-I have had two knee replacements and was not able to take any pain pills as I am allergic to anything that is morphine based. I had a hard time handling all of the above symptoms.
I am still not sleeping and one symptom they do not discuss is the possibility of developing Hypoparathyroidism. I have just been diagnosed with the same. I am 75 yrs. old and have now decided to live with osteoporosis as losing 6 months of activity is not for me. I was working out 2 hrs a day before Reclast and I am just now getting back to a scheduled work out.
I understand not everyone has such a severe reaction to Reclast-I normally have a difficult time with any medications-but just be cautious.
