Had infusion IV at VA last week and have had NO side effects or reactions during these very few days. I am Diabetic and Bone Scan and Test showed Osteoporosis in 1998 and again this year, I will update in about a month as to any side effects that I might encounter, if any.

My second dose of Zometa caused a severe allergic reaction of hives at the injection site and other body parts. I have bone and joint pain,especially in my hip.My right side is very weak. This drug has been my worst nightmare. Even after 6 months, the pain persist. I've contacted FDA concerning this drug.

Within a week I noticed a bone pain in my right arm and within that week it moved to both my knees and bones running down to the ankles. The bone pain in the arm went. The leg pain has stayed This pain is very severe, it comes and goes, but I do not have a day with out the pain. I can wake up at 4-5 a.m. in extreme pain.Going up and down stairs is painful. Panadol does dull it but only Celebrex gives me relief. I would never use this drug again

i started complaning of increased joint pain within a month of getting the infusion, soon after i had so much jaw pain i couldn't sleep. i also had an itch on my arms and legs that only could be controlled with cold showers, and this was extremely painful since i also am being treated for psoriatic arthritis, the va told me these were not listed side effects and i should continue with the treatment, now i have a hole forming in the roof of my mouth, also not a listed side effect, dont think i will continue, i would rather crawl around bent overRead More Read Less

Prescribed for my father to strengthen vertebrae, following surgery to remove secondary tumor in spine. Shortly after treatment began, my father was incapacitated due to severe pain in pelvic region and hips.
