| 1 | pagets | 101.8 fever for two days.loose stools.Aches and pains all over for three more days. After 1 week my left wrist hand and finger joints hurt so much I couldn't lift a few ounces. Went to emergency room and they came up with nothing. That pain is still there and nobody can tell me anything .They have no answers. My primary doctor said "I heard that it can do some pretty nasty things" | The doctor tried to get me to take this drug two years ago but after reading the reviews I didn't. After two years I finally took it. I should not have. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG! | M | 69 | 1 days 1X O | 3/10/2017 | 1 | Severe osteoporosis | Had the infusion that morning by that night could not sleep was in such extreme pain in my bones and my joints that I could not walk on my legs or move or I could not breathe because I felt like my ribs were going to break and ended up in the emergency room at the hospital for pain medication which was morphine to calm down the pain. Was like that for 3 weeks the pain has subsided some but still was in pain for 3 weeks it has been a few months I have been still hurting in the middle of my back which I did not have before so I would never take it again | F | 56 | 1 days | 2/24/2017 | 1 | Paggets | Very sick had seizure still don't feel good 4 months later | Will never take again | M | 55 | 1 days Not sure | 12/9/2016 | 1 | newly diagnosed osteoporosis | stomach pain and flu-like symptoms the first day. progressive jaw & joint pain, headaches and fatigue 6 months later. | F | 62 | 1 times ? 1X O | 11/29/2016 | 1 | Sierra endocrine associate | All the BAD symptoms you can imagine 5 years .....

Body pain. Even skin is sensitive to touch. Fever, chest pain and slight cough, slight nausea. Feels like severe flu symptoms. | Very unhappy with the doctor and staff that administered infusion. I called them today to ask if fever was normal since the last time I had a fever I was a child. They told me they could not advise me and to call my primary care physician. I could understand if it was an infusion center but it was the actual doctors office. | F | 54 | 1 days 5mg 1X O | 10/20/2016 | 1 | For my bones | I took reclast July 25th 2016 by iv infusion and the next day I run fever of 104.2 and seizure .and my blood pressure was so low and had to be taken to the hospital and after that on the fourth day my jaw bones on the right side of my face felt like someone had taken a pair of pliers and was twisting my jaw bones out.was in terrible pain and the outside of my face and my glands in my neck had swollen out like a Ballon in a matter of mintutes .Had to be rushed back to the hospital again with that going on and low blood pressure again and now I stay so tired out with no energy. | My doctor says it was a counter reaction from the reclast and he doesn't recommend taking it again . But they failed to tell me the side effects of that medication before giving it to me and now I have a year to go not knowing what still may happen to me.I strongly don't recommend this medication and I'm very dissatisfied. | F | 54 | 1 days | 8/17/2016 | 1 | osteoporosis | Now I have a persistant cough and it hurts when I breath deeply. It's a pain that sometimes goes from my chest to my neck and into my ear, and once it lasted all day. Back pain daily. | F | 78 | infusion 1X day | 8/12/2016 Patient History | 1 | Osterporosis | Woke up the morning after taking the drug with back pain and sub sternal chest pressure. I had shortness of breath. I took the drug in June and have had continuing chest pressure , heart flutters and shortness of breath on exertion. Just had abnormal stress test after having no cardiac disease. Hair is thinning and vision is worse. About to schedule an eye exam. I have had weight gain in spite of no change in my diet or exercise program. Some days I am so fatigued all I can do is sit. | I will NEVER take this drug again or any osteoporosis drug. My body feels poisoned. I was perfectly healthy before taking this drug. | F | 63 | 1 days 1X O | 8/1/2016 | 1 | Osteoporosis | I experienced terrible chest pain , could not even turn over in bed or get up(almost passed out from the pain when my husband tried to help me), as well as fever, headache, and severe joint pain - these are minor side effects??? | I am now on day 5 following my first (and definitely LAST) infusion for treatment of osteoporosis. My chest pain has decreased and I no longer have a headache, but the joint pain is worse - it's like the medication that was supposed to avoid the danger of future bone fracture turned me into an old woman overnight. My hip joints and knees don't just ache - I can barely shuffle along and I have no strength at all in my left hand. The minor side-effects like fever and jaw pain were something I could have lived with if they only lasted a day or two, but these other symptoms have changed my life and I have no idea when they will go away or if I will be able to resume activities like gardening and hiking. I wish I had discovered this website beforehand but hope my warning will help others. It infuriates me that my doctor did not even discuss the various options even when I questioned him - just said they all can have side effects and that this once-a-year infusion was my best option. | F | 72 | 1 days 1X day | 7/22/2016 | 1 | Osteoarthritis | Peripheral neuropathy, joint pain,Can't drive anymore,muscle pain,I have to use a walker or wheelchair. I have broke my foot and my ankle. Please I need help. At my wits end. | I wouldn't advise anyone to take this. My life has been ruined because of this drug | F | 61 | 1 days 30Mgs 1inf | 6/15/2016 | 1 | Bone density issues | Extreme pain within 6 hours after infusion that lasted 3 days. One week later and I'm still weak, having pain in my hips, back and knees. The expectation of discomfort for 2-3 days wasn't correct for me. I'm praying this stuff gets out of my system somehow. My blood sugar levels have also been out of control since the infusion. | I will NEVER have this done again. I just hope This drug hasn't done permanent damage to my system. | F | 67 | 1 days | 5/18/2016 | 1 | Osteoporosis | Had infusion in 2012; within 12 hours of infusion, fever of 103.2 and other flu symptoms...after 2 weeks, horrible jaw, femur and other bone pain...pre-existing conditions worsened... Fast forward to today,constant pain in my femur and osteoporosis is worse!! | Liver numbers still not good and refuse to take prescriptions for the osteoporosis...take high levels of D3 and Calcium and will look into Bone Broth, as recommended by my chiropractor. | F | 50 | 1 days | 5/6/2016 | 1 | Osteoporosis | I had severe pain all over, unable to stand or walk without assistance, confusion, cracks on both sides of my mouth, high fevers for 5 days, decreased urine output, taste changes, headaches, nausea and now elevated liver labs. This is poison and I will never use again. I was so weak and in such pain I couldnt turn over or get out of bed unable to walk so we had to get a bedside commode for several days. I was told I might have mild flu symptoms. This was anything but mild | F | 57 | 1 days | 4/11/2016 | 1 | Osteoporosis | Severe flu symptoms for first 5 days. Then subsided but now, for two weeks, have severe hand, wrist, forearm pain. Can barely function! Pain in shins and feet. Energy sapped. Feel trapped! | Will seek alternate therapies for osteoporosis. This does feel like a life-changing poison! | F | 66 | 1 days 1X AN | 3/28/2016 | 1 | Osteoporosis | I had the infusion 16 days ago. I have never experienced such pain. i had it done at midday. i was fine. Thought - whats the big deal. Until later that night. At about 11 the aches started.Could not sleep for the pain. I could not sit up in bed - the pain in my chest was incredible. Could not put any weight on my feet. Today I wake every morning with incredible pain in my thighs. and there is a new pain every day. I am now already in the routine of taking a dicloflam every morning otherwise I could not get through the day. Also very weepy - very unlike me. | This was the most uninformed decision I have ever made in my life. I wish I could turn back the clock. I worry now what comes next. Losing my hair? My teeth? and how long am I going to feel like this? | F | 44 | 1 days 1X day | 2/19/2016 | 1 | Osteoporosis | Two reclast infusions 2010 and 2011. Severe wrist fracture in late 2011 from minor fall- rods and screws and external fixation to repair. First bone fracture in my entire life. Since 2013, 5 of my teeth have cracked and fallen apart. I have never had a problem with teeth in previous 48 years. Dentist says all remaining molars have developed cracks since 2010 x-rays. I need at least 5 crowns on teeth that were problem free until taking this awful drug. In 2010 there were NO WARNINGS about breaking teeth. | F | 50 | 2 years | 2/8/2016 | 5 | Osteoporosis | No side effects. | I've read horror stories about Reclast side effects, but experienced none of them. I take it by infusion once a year for 3 years now. I will have a bone scan August of 2016, and will know then how well it has worked. | F | 71 | 3 years ? 1X O | 2/5/2016 | 1 | Osteoperosis | I had an infusion of Reclast on 1/13/16 at 1, by 11pm that night my back started to hurt me. Shortly thereafter I was in excruciating back pain and could not move. I have never felt so much pain. I was completely debilitated. I could not stand up on my own. I couldn’t put any weight on my body. I was very thirsty. My doctor said I had a severe reaction to the Reclast. When my doctor recommended I get the Reclast infusion I didn’t give it much thought because my mother had had it done with no side effects. I was not told of the side effects by my doctor or anyone at Quest lab. The only thing I remember Quest lab being concern about was that hadn’t received a copy of my lab results. I had to wait till they were faxed a copy. I was reassured that my kidneys were fine and I should have no problem with Reclast. I went to see my doctor the next day. He said I was having a severe reaction to the Reclast and prescribe Hydrocodon-Acetaminophen and said to take Benadryl. | I did not know Reclast stays in your system for at least a year (hence the annual treatment). I was told the Reclast went into the bones. This means I am stuck with the drug and its side effects for as long as it’s in my system. It is in my body for a year, doing its damage. I did not know Reclast infusion can be fatal and doctors can’t remove the drug from your bloodstream. | F | 62 | 1 days 1X day | 2/2/2016 |
