Hi, I experience right side thigh pain at rest, when I go to bed. I wonder if it is connected to my being on Alendronate for the past few years.
I just started Tymlos 3 days ago so things are changing but do you think I should mention the thigh pain to my endocrinologist?

mundy, yes talk about the thigh pain and ask what AFF (atypical femur fracture) is exactly and if it might be what is causing your pain you might ask for imaging of the femur. I applaud your change of medication. Best choice!

Yes. I was on fosamax and developed thigh pain. Once I stopped, the pain stopped! I believe all these meds have this same effect. Good luck with any of them.

Hi, @munday -- I saw you posted a reaction to one of my old posts about taking Tymlos. I'm glad it helped you, but I feel obligated to say my Tymlos journey was ultimately unsuccessful. I never got beyond 4 clicks-- I couldn't tolerate the side effects-- and also, I only lasted 6 months. Besides all the typical side effects you know, my hair fell out. Not all of it, and not in patches. It just thinned by about half and that was the last straw for me. It is nearly 18 months since I stopped Tymlos, and my hair has not grown back. Tymlos has given a lot of people a lot of bizarre side effects. Don't discount that your thigh pain is indeed caused by Tymlos, and I hope you have a doctor who doesn't dismiss your pain by saying, "that's not on the list of side effects." Hair loss isn't either, but the Tymlos nurse confirmed to me that she saw it in many other people. I retreated back to Actonel, but now my endo wants me to go on Evenity. Terrified, of course. Putting it off for a while.
