I had to pay for my bone scan,nothing has been mentioned about having another one done. I took my first fosomax on Sun,my dentist said it wasnt a problem re the jaw thing,because we have osteoporosis, its that that caused the problem because the jaw could be affected,he said that if I needed a tooth out I would probably have to see a specialist whether i was on fosomax or not!!His advice was to take it and see how I go and if I have a problem then go back to the dr.So, here we go, wish me luck!!

Close Osteoporosis
My mother and grandmother both died of bone infections because of osteoporosis. My grandmother in 1957 of a hip fracture and my mother in 1996 of borken vertebrae that became infected. I have just been diagnosed with osteoporosis in both my arms. I am left-handed and my left arm is the worst probably because of overuse and abuse. The only reason we discovered it was because I was adamant about having the left arm given a bone density test. The usual test would have been within limits.
Treatments
- Miacalcin Too Soon to Tell
- Side effects: bloating, diahrrea, nausea, etc. Sorry, had to up. One day, my muscles froze and I fell to the loor. My doctor took a blood test and said that the medication was not working. Now, taking the natural cocktail of: calcium, Vit D, magnesium, zinc, copper, boron (little darling!), shark cartilege and strontium. Strontium is not a prescription drug but must be supplied by a doctor. I am working with an Alternative Medicine MD in Suffern, NY.
