pain is a 7 out of ten. no difficulty breathing. no swelling of the face, taking basic over the counter pain pills, not much help, called my local GP. has not replied yet. does not appear to be muscle, is clearly bone pain. i had boniva before every 3 months for the last 3 years but never had the degree of pain i feel now. i ll increase water intake, will see what GP prescribes for the pain. i am applying a heating pad in the neck area where the pain seems to concentrate. seems to help
Brief Answer:
You should see a doctor if pain does not decrease
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As you are already taking these injection it is highly unlikely that this injection will cause any allergy. If it is only pain and no other serious symptoms than no need to be worried. I have following suggestions for you.
1.Take diclofenec tablet for pain after discussing with your GP.
2. Hot water fomentation and voletran gel are also good.
3. If pain increases than you might add tablet tramadol.
This pain will improve in a two three days. If this pain increases than we have to rule out other causes also. In that case you might need some blood investigations also.
let me know if there is any other followup questions.
Thanks
