Monthly injection... after a year bone mass about same so has reduced that degeneration. Leg pain reduced, back pain no more. Do not seem to have related side effects. Very important to have nutritional food... go to Chinese buffet from fish, chicken, veg, to fruit and hot tea. Appetite has come back.

I have aredia infusions to stop bone loss from taking Arimidex for Breast Cancer. I feel like I have the flu for 3 or 4 days,but I have noticed it really helps with the bone pain.

I have taken this drug approximately every 4 weeks since being dxd with bone mets 4 years ago. I usually get mild, flu-like sxs for a few days after, but it is well worth taking if it protects my bones!

I've only had this treatment twice now, but both times I've experienced pretty much all of the side effects listed, along with inflammation/pain/infection to the I.V. site. My doctor put me on Cipro to combat that and it worked. My doctor will be giving me Benadryl before my giving me the Aredia next time to see if that rids the infection from happening. Overall, it's something I can handle and deal with.
