Hi Tracey
I am on a bisphosphonate called zometa which I have by IV monthly. I've had 6 so far. After the first one I got really terrible pains in all my bones. It was awful.
The Dr had warned me this might happen so I took some panadol which helped ease the pain a bit. It was only the first night and after that it was fine.
I haven't had anything like that for the subsequent 5.
I was also told to visit the dentist before starting the zometa because of the risk of osteocronosis of the jaw. (Basically, if you need any major dental work you should get it done before commencing with the bisphosphonate)
Hope it all goes OK for you.
