Comment:
Please do not let these reviews scare you. I think there is a tendency NOT to report positive experiences. I read these reviews and they scared me plenty. I did not tell me wife because I did not want to scare her. She has essentially ZERO side effects and will do it again in two years. I will repost after her bone scan.

Comment:
I have had 2 Reclast infusions, 2 years apart, the last one exactly 2 years ago. My bone density has stabilized. However I suffer from deep joint pain in my right groin, both hips and my lower back constantly aches. I will not be doing a 3rd infusion, but I can't conclude the Reclast caused my joint pain. Seems coincidental though.

Comment:
Taking this was the most horrible experience of my life. I went from feeling good and having energy to being in severe pain. I developed so many complications from this drug I don't think I will ever fully recover. My sister also tried reclast and could not handle the pain and terrible side effects. This was life changing with little sympathy from my doctor. There are healthier ways to treat
