Unable To Take Oral Alendronic Acid Due To Stomach Pain,can Anyone Tell Me If They Were Able To Tolerate Injections Without Pain

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am very concerned as my spine is in a bit of a mess ,I have multiple fractures in upper spine,as stated unable to take oral Bisophenates, due to stomach pain, I was wondering if anyone else was the same and went on to tolerate one of the injections, if so which is the least toxic, as I have lots of intolerances.

Zolendronic acid and Reclast are the same thing - different countries have different names for it.

I had my first injection a few weeks ago because of stomach issues as well. I have GERD and an ulcer so I’m sure that didn’t help. I had no problems with the injection at all. I am on Prolia.

Hi, Sylvia, Sorry you are struggling. I took Alendronic acid for a year and suffered with horrible heartburn and acid reflux. I kept agitating about something else and saw a new consultant who prescribed Zoledronic acid infusion. It takes about 20 minutes once a year. I was considered a good candidate as I had no other side effects apart from the stomach ones. Maybe you could enquire about it. I have had two infusions and should get one more then another DEXA scan to see if I am mended.... Well, I can always hope. Good luck!

I’ve had two annual infusions of Reclast and now only have Osteopenia. I also take a lot of supplements, prunes, Kefir, Greek yogurt, a healthy diet, exercise, hydrotherapy, mindfulness and meditation. No idea which has helped most!
I do have a prickly heat rash that doctors say is not connected but I wonder...

Not for me! However I haven’t had any more fractures.
