After my breast cancer diagnosis last year,I also discovered that I had osteoporosis (lucky me)
I was advised it would be beneficial to have Bisphosphonate infusions every 6 months for 3 years to stop the spread to my bones if I am unlucky enough for the cancer to return.
I had my first infusion on Tuesday of last week and it absolutely knocked me sideways. I had flu like symptoms, shivers, shakes, achey bones, nausea… those symptoms have now dissipated but I’m left with sore and swollen joints on my fingers and toes…which came on this morning. I’m hoping it’s temporary but it’s really taken me by surprise. I literally woke up with old lady hands and one of my fingers has bent slightly at the joint…
I'm taking paracetamol and ibuprofen .
Has anyone else ever experienced this please?
thanks in advance for any replies x
Hi Jacster
Apart from mild flu like symptoms the day after the two infusions I've so far and I haven't experienced the rest of the symptoms you've described.
Best wishes
