Fosamax
Does anyone use Fosamax? Does it work for you?
No the side affects were terrible. Joint pain, My legs swelled up, my hair fell out, and I gained 10 pounds in 3 weeks. Switched to raloxifene. No side effects except hot flashes which I had already.
Side Effects Of Fosomax
Been on this for 6 months in last month experiencing joint and muscle pain in toes,ankles,knees.hips. Dr took me off for 4wks to see if it’s side effect or something else. Also had blood test waiting for results. Anyone else had this?

Diagnosis And Medication
My number for my lumbar spine is 1.057 g/cm; T-score 0.1
Femoral neck is 0.591 g/cm2; T-score -2.3
My doctor has prescribed Fosamax.
When I read the paper work for the meds, I see it can cause problems (especially with stomach problems). I am on pantoprazole for GERD.
Beyond that, I have a stent and take blood thinners and take multiple medication for heart and bp and cholesterol.
I don't think I should take the Fosamax.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Mdn
I had several teeth fall out after taking Fosamax.
I also to pantoloc for GERD , I'm on BP meds, cholesterol, various meds for pain, etc..
Does Anyone See A Rheumatologist?
I have osteoporosis, only found out 2 months ago, taking Fosomax but have sciatica pain, I wonder if I should just get off medication
Yes, so great to hear how other people are doing.
My Doctor Want To Put Me On Fosamax. I Am Not Very Keen On Doing This. The Side Effects Don't Seem To Be Very Pleasant. Thanks.
I also was just prescribed Fosamax. I haven't yet decided if I will take it. I am returning to my former primary Dr. soon (hopefully) and want to wait to see what he thinks.
I Will Be Going Off Prolia After 5 1/2 Yrs. And Will Start Taking Fosamax. I Should Having Started With Fosamax First. Any Comments?
I want to avoid meds as long as I can. Have been doing water walking.
Any Good Luck With Alendronate Sodium (generic Fosamax)? I Am About To Start Taking It For The First Time.
Fosamax: What Have Your Experiences With This Drug Been? Positive Or Negative?
My mother took Fosamax for over 8 years and still broke her hip. I have friends who have tried the shots and still broken bones. What have you found the most effective treatment for osteoporosis? I am also trying the exercise program by Margaret Martin. I already exercise daily and this helps me focus on a program particular to osteoporosis; including tips on what not to do. I have also heard that your diet is also a factor? Has anyone found this to be true? Thanks so much.
Hair And Scalp
I have found info about osteoporosis causing hair loss for some people.
My question is - does it cause you to have an itchy scalp - not dandruff. Just a very itch scalp that feels tight when you scratch.
Just checking to see if there is anyone else out there with this.
Thanks and let’s all have a great day!
Hair is more prone to breaking with the same lack of vits/minerals as causes osteoporosis ... a lot of us are finding that a "hair/skin/nails" supplement is very helpful. Can contain silica, selenium… read more
