I have a large hietal hernia in my esophagus that my GI Dr worries is irriitated by the Fosamax.
I also have concern about Osteonecrosis from ongoing dental procedures. My PCP notes that the med
no longer seems effective and would like me to see a specialist for future osteosporosis treatment. What
kind of doctor would be most effective and appropriate for me to see. PCP mentioned endocrinologist but I
am thinking rheumatologist.
Your advice would be much appreciated.
I was offered drugs for osteoarthritis in my younger years but the side effects scared me.
You know your body . Read about it .ask lots of questions.
I took Fosomax infusions for 1 yr. Took myself off it due to severe joint pain, lack of energy, weight gain. Looking back I was depressed, which totally was not the real me. So great now being off that stuff!
I also have GI problems and tried Fosomax only once because I immediately felt irritation. I once had Barrets Esophagus and it took a long time to get over it and I don't ever want to feel that again. That's why I'm advised to take Reclast but have dental issues and constant side effects and I fear taking Relclast.
That's what I always feared about fosomax.
Did you drink lots of after taking the fosomAx.
Don't have advice. However, thank you for posting. You describe my worse fears of taking these type of drugs. Praying for alternatives.
