does anyone take Fosamax or Actonel for helping to keep osteoporosis from getting worse? And have you had any major issues and how long have you been on the meds? (I know everyone is different and re-acts differently to meds but just want a general idea). thanks
I'm afraid of brittle bones caused by those meds that are supposed to help prevent breaks.
I'm afraid of the meds causing Osteonecrosis of the Jaw.
I'm afraid of the meds eating a hole in my esophagus.
Instead, I go to weight training classes 5 days a week. I've been going since Labor Day, and it's given me such good benefits in other areas, that I would continue to go even if the science backtracks its findings that bone can be built by weight training.
