255anny...sounds painful; hope you get relief soon! A little confused - if you've been on osteo meds for 4 years why would you fracture? Isn't the reason to take powerful osteo meds so we don't fracture? I know meds lower the risk of fracture but was always assuming the actually risk would disappear as long as you are being treated? Would be interesting to see if there is any data on actual fractures on people taking any osteo meds. Worrisome.
