Get to know some Reclast patients - Linda
Welcome Rhoda Nancy
"After a dance competition 6 years ago, I had back pain for several weeks. When I went to my doctor, she sent me to a radiologist who confirmed that I had developed a vertebral fracture. She also prescribed a weekly osteoporosis medication, along with calcium and vitamin D.

"Since then, I've been really careful about doing difficult turns and drops. I'm afraid if I have another fracture, I'll have to give up dancing. I try to do everything I can for my bones because my mother had osteoporosis, and the consequences had a huge impact on me.

"Unfortunately, I also have a history of frequent upper gastrointestinal problems, so my doctor recently suggested I try something new that bypasses the GI tract and goes straight to the bone—Reclast.

"So far, it's great knowing that I won't have to take my medication again for a whole year."
