Anyone had ONJ while on a bisphosphonate?

Yes, I developed ONJ. It changed my life…chronic jaw pain, osteomyelitis after extracting several teeth and partial dentures today. Very costly, expensive and painful. Also many dentists who weren’t educated about this issue at the time and this left me vulnerable with delayed treatment. I would not advise biphosphonates for anyone, but you may not have the experience that I had. I sBut is it worth the risk? One must weigh the decision. I still have chronic pain and quality of life is greatly compromised.

That is so awful. I also experienced ONJ near the end of my first shot of Prolia which was recommended after 24 months of Forteo. I then switched to Raloxifene and did well for 5 years on that, and now on another course of Forteo. May I ask what you are taking now?
