Hi Mary, I had my 1st dose Zometa in Dec 08 and also had bone pain for about a week then approx 6 weeks after. This lasted on and off only a few weeks at a time.
The pain down the front of my shins especially, has come back in the last 2 weeks and wakes me at night. My Dr gave me Valium to take when necessary and this helped a lot. I would only take about 5 or 6 tablets then stop until the next time. I am already on Prednisole & Plaquenil for PMR and Tramadol ( pain med) for painful osteo fracture. I was told Zometa & Reclast & Alcasta are all the same drug?
Your chest flutter really interests me. I also have started to have these. I have not told my Dr.
PLEASE keep on posting as there are not too many of us on this treatment and I would like to know how you go with the monitor.. Hope you are having a beter week, Lyn

I just went for my first reclast infusion 6 weeks ago, I used to be given zometa once a year but the doc now pushes the newer drug, well two days later could hardly walk, had severe bone pain pretty much all over, but worse in the legs. Went back to doctor, he said it was bone diffusement, whatever that is, and puts me on predisone to help with the pain, now I get chest flutters for the past week and today am wearing a holster monitor for 24 hours. I really need to talk to people who have been given reclast and had bad reactions to the drug.
