Does anyone have a solution to help manage Reclast side effects?

@micheleroyalty7 Your information is based on bone density scans, and all thta doss is take a picture to see if the porosity of the bones has improved, meaning the holes are filled but with what quality, certainly not real bone matter. I don't care how many brands they rename this stuff, it's all a form of Bisphosphonates! There is big money involved in administering this stuff, which is not cheap, all while they use you as a human lab rat! They do not generate real bone; that is a false statement, it's a filler!

@diddlyd Hence......"Yes, bisphosphonates bind to bone mineral and can remain in the bones for a long time, potentially exceeding ten years. This binding helps to strengthen bones and reduce the risk of fractures".

This process is no doubt causing serious side effects.

I'm feeling this way on Alendronate and I'm not sure where to go next, as far as treatment. Did Evenity for a yr, no issues, great gains. Now trying to maintain on Alendronate. I feel and understand how serious this new chronic muscle and joint pain is for all speaking up about it. The full impact of chronic pain, both physically and emotionally, takes a toll!! Going to an orthopedic and endocrinologist to try and eliminate possibilities. I did see where *gently* mentioned a possible suggestion need to peddle back and bookmark it. She is so knowledgeable and offers tremendous support in here.

@bytheriver I agree. Back surgery and hip surgery were a breeze compared to the debilitating pain caused by Reclast. Good luck to you.

Just had first infusion on April 29th this year.
No side effects at all until yesterday and this morning.
Such bone pain,can hardly walk,wrist and finger pain,knees.
Waiting to hear back from my dr.,but doubt if there is anything he can do.
Any advise please?

@cathymal actually I thought it was bone b
Pain too. Doctor said muscle pain. Some says it goes away in a few days. Mine has lasted 6 months. I walk and do yoga a lot. Sometimes much worse than others. IBU and Tylenol help but oh course, there is a limit as to how much you can have. Voltaren rub helps. Just having to deal with it😢

@dannyandebbie Thank you so much for sharing your story. You have been through a lot. And it’s been 22 months! I’m still hoping that at the 18th or 19th months my side effects will start to go away. My pain is so bad now. Lower back and legs. Even my feet and toes. Everyday has become a struggle. You hang in there too.

@margaret3363 hopefully the day will be soon that you start to feel more normal and will be able to walk your dog. Just try and take one day at a time! Best of luck!

Im about to take my 3rd reclast. I haven't been sick so far. Will i be ok?

@alenef hopefully no issues if you have already had two! Just follow along drinking plenty of water before infusion and medication! Best of luck. I need to be totally honest, after reviewing symptoms and my experience, I will Never have another infusion! Best of luck
