Reclast BEWARE causes broken femur!

Posted by missprince @missprince, Feb 14, 2025

Doctor put me on Reclast for 3 years. By third year after iv left leg hurting and getting weaker. Finally, one day leg gave out and I fell to the ground with broken femur. Emergency Surgery. After this several doctors told me it was due to Reclast. Was never told Reclast could do this. Women should avoid this iv. I will post what happened to me wherever I can. To put this drug out knowing it can cause a broken femur is horrible. Women should be told this side effect before receiving the drug. Having a broken femur is a terrible thing with the pain and surgery. I am 3 months out from surgery and still recovering. Now my doctors tell me I should not get anymore reclast! Too late for my broken Femur! Beware of Reclast!
