Side Affects?? Anyone With Out Side Affects From Alendronate?
I was diagnosed a year ago ( hips) and have NOT taken any medication. I went to the doctor today and of course she was not happy and gave me the push to take alendronate once a week. The side affects right on the package are alarming. Esophagus problems, bone pain, jaw bone problems, thigh bone fractures etc. When I asked her about these she said “they have to tell you all of these but they are rare”. Is there anyone who has taken this medication and NOT had any side affects???
Is It Safe To Be On Prolia For Years?
I've been on Prolia for about 5 years. I was told by a Naturopathic doctor that the longer a person is on Prolia, the more likely you will get a fracture in thigh bone that can be devastating.

She based this on the latest studies on Prolia. Any thoughts?

Osteoporosis Reversed
Hello, I have had osteoporosis for many years, previous dexa showed -3-4 but on my last scan a few weeks ago I was told I am now in the osteopenic range as my scan showed a significant improvment. I am delighted with this news. I had premature ovarian failure 20 years ago and had steroids for Lupus so this has came as quite a welcome surprise for me and my family.
