Has anyone had Zometa treatments for your bones? Side effects? Did it help? My Dr hasn’t done a bone density test so I have no idea how healthy my bones are?

Many community members have shared experiences with Zometa and other bone-strengthening treatments, so you're definitely not alone in having questions about this medication. It's completely understandable to want to know more about potential side effects and effectiveness, especially when you haven't had a recent bone density test to understand your current bone health status. Consider discussing with your healthcare team about getting a baseline bone density scan and asking about what specific bone health concerns they're addressing with this treatment recommendation.

My dr wants me to have zometa infusions but I’m reluctant because of the side effects and it weakens your bones
