Zoletronic side effect

I had an infusion of zoletronic acid 8 days ago. I have felt awful all week but yesterday my knee swelled up and my wrists and base of my thumbs hurt and have gone weak. My whole left leg and hands have been in pain all night. This morning I can hardly walk or stand. I can't get the lid off the coffee jar , lift the kettle or carry a cup of coffee. My left knee is still very swollen with pain running up to my buttock. I've taken ibuprofen. Is it going to go away by itself or do I need to do something?

  • Hi Achernett, 

    Unfortunately, our nurses are not online over the weekend so they won't be able to respond until early next week. I am sorry to hear you have been feeling awful since having the zoletronic acid infusion 8 days ago. It sounds like things got worse yesterday and this morning and I would strongly advise you get in touch with 111 for out of hours medical advice on this. Make sure you mention you had the zoletronic infusion 8 days ago and describe all your symptoms in detail. I hope you manage to speak to a doctor very soon about this. 

    Best wishes,
