Hi there
I was wondering if anyone found bone pain/joint pain increasing a couple of months before their Zometa infusion is due. I get 6 monthly infusions and my last one is due next month. I don’t know if it’s coincidental but I’ve just realised there’s a pattern to my joint pain and specifically a shoulder pain which is actually caused by arthritis getting worse a few weeks before my treatment. Has anyone else found this or am I just imaging it?
Hi there, I am sure there will be others coming along to share their experiences, but I have to admit I haven't noticed a pattern linked to Zometa. I find my joint pain, especially my hip, is worse when been standing too long, and also when I haven't been doing enough exercise. Best wishes
