Hi everyone,
I just wanted to ask if anyone has had Zolodronic Acid Infushion, and what sort of side effects they had?
I had my first dose on Tuesday along with Herceptin Injection at 2pm and by 2am I had the worst joint pain in my knees, flu like symptoms, back ache.
i suffer with Arthritic knees anyway but this has left me completely house bound for the last two days, and now on a reducing course of steroids to try and get this awful inflammation under control.
Anyone else had terrible joint pain?
The Herceptin Injection was my 4th.
That's not good, there does seem a direct link for you. My knees flare up at time but not after the Zoledronic acid infusion. Letrozole adversely affected my knee. It wasn't instant it took a while to happen. I'm on Tamoxifen now. Keep moving as much as you can. Moving gets the synovial fluid moving in the joint. Hope it improves soon. X
Thank you for your reply Sabrina22.
I was having a few problems with a swollen knee before the infusion as I’ve been taken off all RA meds since diagnoses, I don’t think the Herceptin Injections are helping but the infusion seem to be the key here, definitely a link.
I am better today and moving more, just had my first Radiotherepy today, so moving forward
