Has anyone taken Alendronate?

I did not see the warning because t think it has been more apparent and visible since the 2024 lawsuits. Because I was only on for 2 1/2 years I didn’t get a dexa scan.
However since the surgery it shows severe osteoporosis in my arms. Because of deterioration in my spine and titanium in my legs they were unable to dexa scan there.
I am 91 next month and because there is such minimal improvement and possible severe side effects with osteoporosis drugs I have decided to not take any and just be careful.
I walk 3 miles a day and exercise 4 or 5 days a week to try to make myself stronger.

Thank you for responding. You have been through a lot and yet you are still walking and exercising! Amazing you had no pain in the femurs. That is very encouraging. So sorry though about your brother. May he heal more quickly than they expect.

God bless you at 91! Thank you for telling us what your score is. It gives me hope.
