My Mom recieved IV Reclast in April and has recently developed debiliatating bone pain.  She has had tests and are negative to date. The only thing that has changed in her life in the past few months is Reclast. 

 

Thanks!

Thanks for your question. I would direct your attention to a very similar question, as well as its answer. The short answer is that your mom should talk to her doctor about the pain, but that she is not alone in experiencing it. The FDA has warned that severe bone pain may result from taking bisphosphonates (the group to which Reclast belongs). Hope this helps.

I know what your Mom is going through. I have had severe bone pain that has altered my life dramatically. I didn't actually start for several weeks after Reclast and it was localized in my right side. No one connected it to the drug. I actually had unnecessary gall bladder surgery. After that the pain started all over and I was the one who put two and two together. I am miserable and only pray that it goes away after a year -- I have 4 more months to go. I also hope that there is no permanent damage. Tell your Mom she is not alone. I actually was not told that this could be a side effect. I was only told about possible short-lived rare effects such as flu-like symptoms which I never had. No one knows what it is like unless you go through it.
