I had a Zoledronic Acid infusion four weeks ago, and the side effects were quite strong for me; some persist. My joints, especially my knees, feel stiff, and I occasionally experience aches and pains. Additionally, I have a bloated stomach, a metallic taste in my mouth, and I've lost some of my appetite—though not completely, I've lost quite a bit. How to overcome these symptoms? The plan is to have the infusion every six months. Is the experience during the second infusion usually less intense, or can it be even worse? Cheers
