I took fosomax for 3 months. Horrible side effects on esophagus and stomach. Reclast sounds like a nightmare. I am looking into red light therapy and more exercise. I actually have a Dr. that said she would never use the osteoporosis drugs.

It’s so confusing isn’t it? ( (about which bisphosphonate drug to use keeping bone and for long term health)
I’m only 64 and there could be a long road ahead.
Seems like the doctors prescribing these drugs shy away from talking about side effects!

That doctor sounds biased to me. I’d get some other opinions. I’d rather do my own research. Get many opinions and do all the testing to maintain my quality of life going forward. I got tested for 25 years because of my arthritis it prepared no one when they opened me up for cervical spine surgery, and my C5 literally fell apart in their hands. This required a much more major surgery on the backside of my spine with bigger screws and a rod. I don’t just blindly turn to medicine. I make sure I educate myself and balance it with bioidentical hormones and now I’m much more regimented form of exercise every day for bone health and muscle strength.
