My Mother has had a RECLAST infusion 1 1/2 years ago.
She is 79 years old First & only infusion March of 2008. She is experiencing abnormal bone growth & sever Pain. This is getting worse every day. The bones of her Rib Cage are growing together. Her teeth are pushing out fillings & Falling out. Itching at locations were bone growth is happening. She was having Problems before the Infusion. Now is Bed Ridden & is having extreme difficulty walking & taking care of her Daily Needs. My Parents are on Fixed income & have limited resources. I contacted Novrits for help & they said She is a Exception to the thousands that have had Infusion of RECLAST.
Hi Todd, welcome and thanks for your question. I'm so sorry your mom is having so much trouble. You mentioned that she had troubles before the infusion, so I was wondering if she was tested for any other bone disorder? There are some bone disorders that have these type of symptoms, but the Dr. would have to test her for them.
I would ask the Dr. to check for any other disorder that causes this unusual bone growth, to make sure they aren't missing something that could be treated seperately.
If her insurance won't pay for additional testing you could check with the nearest Univ Hospital and see if they have a bone specialist that provides reduced cost appointments/tests. If they don't do this they may be able to direct you to some place that does.
There's still the possibility that the drug is causing this, but I would make sure there isn't something else going on before I would be convinced.
Good luck and if you have another question just ask.
