My Mother had a problem taking fosamax - felt sick and had complications with teeth. She stopped and only took calcium and vit D. She was diagnosed after an accident resulting in fractured hip ( operation done twice as her bone was mush) She made 100% recovery at 83. Interesting she had no further medication or tests and despite falls no more fractures. Lived till 97. So everyone is different!

I took that medication for 10 years. A couple of years ago, I did have to have a tooth extracted. Not sure if it was related to the drug. Regardless, I do not feel I got enough benefit from fosamax to take it again. Trying to stick to calcium, vitamin D and magnesium. Also, I try to walk 2 to 3 miles a day.

Biphosphates can cause bone death. I was started on Fosomax daily. Had a tooth get infected went to the dentist to have it pulled. Dentist refused to pull the tooth until I signed a waiver stating I would not sue if he broke my jaw and the jaw bone died. We had a resident in a Nursing home shortly after that, that suffered from it. I quit taking it and I'm not sorry that I did.

I was on tablets about 17 years ago....I had to take one tablet a day for 7 days and then a calcium tablet for 21 days...This tablet caused my jaw to have issues and all my teeth started breaking , the enamel broke away leaving a soft center...I have tried 3 different meds for osteoporosis but sadly all gave me very bad reactions....Now I just take Vit D. as I fear taking any meds doctors say are going to help me.are just going to cause me more pain or other adverse conditions.
