I took fosomax for 2 1/2 years and ended up with two atypical femur fracture surgeries. After rods and nails I had to learn to walk again. Doing well now after 5 months but fosomax can be a problem for a small minority who take it.

Dawn, Did you have any warning before this happened, such as bone pain in femurs? Did you do CTX bone markers to monitor what alendronate was doing prior to the fractures? I am very sorry this happened to you. Pray you get stronger daily.

That is what i am afraid of. Hope you are doing better. Are you back on any meds? Did you try life style changes before trying medication?
