I was on alendronate quite a few years ago and experienced hip pain. Was told to immediately stop taking it. My osteopoenia has progressed to osteoporosis with no symptoms. It was recommended that I start Prolia but after researching I will never try that drug. I'm wondering if I should try alendronate again and see if I can tolerate it. Is there a chance it won't have that side effect again or am I kidding myself?

I've been on for about 6 years starting 2009 but with a number of drug holidays. I also was on Evenity which improved my scores. I am trying to see if the aches are from the drug or from exercising! Certainly they aren't debilitative and it only happens at night.

Sounds like you could benefit from the wisdom on this forum. I have learned so much. Are you seeing an endocrinologist? Does your current provider understand that the current thinking is to start with a bone building drug first like tymlos, forteo or evenity. But we are all individual.
