I'm not on any osteoporosis medications but I do have neuropathy. Hopefully others with experience can share it with you. This research from a clinical study shows "28,600 people reported to have side effects when taking Actonel. Among them, 24 people (0.08%) have Peripheral neuropathy."

I wasn't aware that there is a way to tell if your neuropathy was caused by Covid. Do you mind sharing how they diagnosed you with Covid vaccine induced neuropathy?

Thank you for your input and the link you provided. I looked at the study and there is some wording that makes me think that neuropathy could possibly be a side effect.
My diagnosis was “highly suspicious of vaccine induced neuropathy”. This occurred after my first Covid booster. Originally, I had a very extreme rash response to the first Covid shot. After the booster, neuropathy symptoms began to appear. Because of my particular health history which was excellent, the robust reaction to the first shot, the timing after the booster and the fact that other patients had been coming in and presenting just as I had, my neurologist felt that there was reason to believe that the neuropathy was related to the vaccine. She predicted that if that were the case, there was a chance of a full recovery. Thankfully, after months of difficulty walking, I did completely heal.
I’m sorry for your situation and wish you the best.
