I have had two six monthly infusions of Zometa and am experiencing bad bone and joint pain. Will this wear off - my second infusion was on 3rd March
Hi Dolly Dreamer
i delayed my last zometa as I didn’t want to go into the unit. But after 3 years of 6 monthly zometa, I occasionally feel aching which is soon fixed with paracetamol. I think it was much worse in the early days but for the last couple of years I just didn’t plan much for the few days after infusion. 6 months is so much more manageable than 3 weekly. Good luck with your treatment x
Hi! Yes it used to cause me pain but I've been having it for a couple of years now and it doesn't really affect me any more.
Take care
Gertie
