Fosamax: What Have Your Experiences With This Drug Been? Positive Or Negative?
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

My mother took Fosamax for over 8 years and still broke her hip. I have friends who have tried the shots and still broken bones. What have you found the most effective treatment for osteoporosis? I am also trying the exercise program by Margaret Martin. I already exercise daily and this helps me focus on a program particular to osteoporosis; including tips on what not to do. I have also heard that your diet is also a factor? Has anyone found this to be true? Thanks so much.

How Did You Choose Your Treatment?
A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭

I went against my endo's recommendation and choose what I thought to be the least invasive drug with the fewest side effects after I was unable to take Fosamax.

He says I am not building bone and these are the best options for this issue. I don't want to take any of these drugs because of all the… read more
