My name is Viva and I'm 60 years old. I have osteoporosis . I received reclasp infusion on Tues. I was told to drink water 2 days before the day of and 2 days after to help flush out the kidneys. I felt like more than the flu. I had awful taste in my mouth after the infusion and chills. The following morning I was stiff and sore my ribs hurt shoulders and arms my hands were stiff. I could only stay up a few hours at a time. Thurs. was better but still having trouble with hands. It's Friday my teeth hurt but arms and hands are better. By the way my lower back pain is better but I hadn't noticed because I hurt so much. I hope by Monday all this is behind me because I have a job to do. I work in housekeeping and I do alot of lifting and pushing. I'm going to see how reclasp works this years before I decide what to do for next year. I have a high pain level so I though. Viva
Hi Viva, I'm so sorry you are having these side effects from Reclast. The symptoms you mention are pretty common and should subside in several days, so if they don't contact your Dr. to see if there is something that you could take that would help with the pain. Usually, Tylenol is recommended after the infusion, so you might try that if you are still having trouble, and drinking plenty of water helps too.
I hope the symptoms have lessened some so you can return to work. Good luck and let us know how you are doing.
Thank you very much for replying. I'm back to work and I still take alot of Tylenol. The side affect are final gone. I wasn't feeling much lower back pain all last week but I wasn't working. Now I know it is still there. I took 1000 mg Tylenol the afternoon of the infusion by the next morning I was a mess. I will increase my calcium and vitamin D right now I'm using 1200 mg calium with 800 mg Vitamin D. I really thanks you for the help. I also using the gym 2 or 3 times a week trying to help take the stress of back. I hope all this helps.
Hi Viva, I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better. I would check with your Dr. before increasing your calcium, just to be sure it's ok to take more than what you mentioned. 1,200 mgs is the recommended amount, unless you have some reason to go over that, that is related to your medical health.
Continued good luck to you and let us know how you do in the future with the Reclast infusion.
