Alendronate Or Alendronic Acid

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Oklahoma City, OK

I took one dose of alendronate and was in severe pain, upper back/upper ribs/shoulders within about 14 hours. The pain was excruciating to start and has gradually lessened over t days. What causes this pain? Do not want to take it again and just trying to understand the mechanism of action.
