My provider suggested stress in femurs such as mine are the result of overuse of Fosamax. I had one in each femur. One has healed. I return to the doctor next week to see if the large fracture has healed. If it hasn’t, I will have the titanium rod implanted.

I had increase in fractures after using Fosamax as well—not uncommon. Was shocked, however, when my auto immune specialist recently denied that explanation of why I couldn’t use Fosamax again—despite years of evidence showing this risk

There is a world of research on this.
