Reclast BEWARE causes broken femur!

The doctor didn't elaborate about which bone drugs in our conversation and I didn't ask especially since I was there for my bursitis. Admittedly I was stunned with his view on bone meds since every other health care professional I've told about my osteoporosis strongly advised me to take the meds.

But it did occur to me that orthopedic surgeons are on the receiving end of osteoporatic patients who fracture since they're the ones that ultimately "fix" the problem of broken bones, so it's not surprising that they may be more biased against a medication that actually caused the problem in the first place.

It is interesting to me that he did not cover the other end of the spectrum. Fractures caused by osteoporosis when medications were not used by a patient. He might want to get some additional feedback from a spine surgeon....one who has treated . multiple compression fractures. My comments are biased pro osteoporosis meds (not recommending for anyone else. We are all individual).
