Saturday, May 16, 2009 at 06:54 AMI am a 54 year old woman who has been very active...waterskiing, swimming, kayaking, biking, snowboarding, etc, etc....I sustained a fracture of my scapula 6 months ago, which has not healed. I was on fosamax for about 5 years. My activites are now limited to walking, and there seems to be no hope in sight for this to change, as my body can not seem to heal the fracture. My doctor has no explanation other than fosamax. Beware!

Jaw Bone Disease as a result of using bisphosphonates
LadyS
Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 02:21 PMThere was a lengthy article in the September 15th edition of the Wall Street Journal that stated that "Reports of scary side effects...hundreds of lawsuits allege that the drugs cause a rare condition in which part of the jaw bone dies".
I have been taking Boniva several years after Evista didn't work well. Even tho it claims this side effect is rare - how does one determine if this could happen to them while on this type of medication?
