Hi to all, not sure where to begin. Feeling pretty rough for the last week or so and not really sure why. Been taking Ibandronic Acid for the last month and can only assume these are some of the side effects that go with it. To start with I have a pain in the middle of my chest which my GP says is a pulled muscle, ok but hurts like hell.I have a frozen shoulder right side from using my wheelchair which is too wide and my right hip hurts,(GP diagnosis bursitis), can't take any anti-inflammatory pills because of above drug so have the gel instead.(not working very fast).All very minor things on their own but altogether a bit much for me to deal with. The big thing that is really getting me down is since starting this drug I sometimes have trouble swallowing not when I eat or drink just generally.
All the above could be due to drug as stated in leaflet or not I don't know and that's what's getting me down.
Well folks that's my moan for now, can't talk to family they panic and start bossing me about and that goes down like a concrete balloon, so sorry to bore you all with my ranting. Hopefully all will be better soon.
Love to all.
