I can’t take most tablets as they gIve me stomach ulcers. I requested the annual infusion of Zolendronic Acid instead. I’m having the second one next month. The only side effect was feeling very shivery for the rest of that day.

I just started on fosamax. I am 79 yrs old and was diagnosed with a dexascan . My previous scan was 4 years ago and normal. I have pain in my thigh and hip but so far, no fractures. Thank God. Now if I could just get rid of the pain.
