Hi, @mlpprolia and welcome to Connect.
Thanks for the good info, it sounds as if you have done some extensive research into these drugs. They are scary! It’s one of those things for which there does not seem as if there’s a good solution, as is true so for many pharmaceuticals.
I am recovering from a painful fracture of my upper femur, (“minimally displaced fracture of the greater trochanter of L femur”) and have a bone scan scheduled next month after which I suspect my PCP will want me on one of these drugs. :-(. Since a fracture can be permanently disabling I don’t want to risk that, but the side effects of these drugs are pretty bad. I definitely need to research the options if the scan indicates my bones need help.
