  • Hi   you need to speak to your GP again. If the pain is keeping you from sleeping he should prescribe something to help with sleep.

  • You have mentioned nerve pain on another post, so you need to speak to your gp about medications for that. 
    My sister finished her zoldronic acid, she had it for 2 years, and she did say it got easier, but the first couple of days after the infusion were always bad.

  • Good morning  is this something you are concerned about because of the zoldronic acid infusion?

    You must have a dental check up before the infusion is due, and make sure your dentist is aware of the infusion. From what I know about jaw necrosis, it can happen after a tooth extraction so it is important that all dental care is completed before the infusion. 

    I do not know of anyone personally who has had jaw necrosis, and not aware of any treatment for it. You could ask in the Ask a Nurse  about treatments.

  • anyone suffering with jaw narcosis after zolderonic acid

    is there any treatment 

    advise please thank you 

  • I didn’t know about the dental check up before infusion 

    and only learned of it through forums 

    so so scary 

    my teeth are pretty shaky 

     so much stress

  • They really should have made you aware, it is one of the things they make the patient aware of. It’s the same with my denosumab injection, I am always asked if I have had dental check up before they give the injection. 

    Make sure you have a dental check before your next infusion. I believe the problem happens if you need a tooth extraction.
