Dear all.

I had zolendronate infusion yesterday and I'm feeling very poorly. Every bone in my body aches, I have muscle weakness and even breathing seems a laborious task.

Has anyone experience similar symptoms? 

If so, how long do they last? 

Thank you

  • Hi RinaB

    I get these [2 so far] and have not had side effects like you describe. I think that if things are bad for you, especially breathing, you should phone your BC nurse or your help-line and discuss how you are feeling with them. Hopefully they can help you with reassurance and maybe give you something to help.

    We are all different and it might be that you are extra sensitive to this stuff.

    Let us know how you get on.

    All the best
