Thanks for starting this post on risedronate. I also take it weekly. I haven't had balance problems, but I'm wondering if anyone experiences bilateral joint pain in the knees as a side effect?
Either risedronate or prednisone withdrawal may be causing my joint pain, and I'm trying to figure out the culprit. Nothing concerning on the knee xrays.

@humbug Hello! I had muscle and joint pain from Risedronate Sodiaum that was fairly mild but did not realize it was from that until I stopped taking it. I used Evenity for 11 mos initially and after 6-7 months it was quite debilitating with significant muscle, joint, tendon pain. I am active and healthy so it was very different from my “normal”. Immediately following Evenity I took Fosomax and that caused a lot of muscle and joint pain. Switched to Risedronate Sodium for two years and it was manageable but not great. Not on any drugs now for two months and feel so much better. Discomfort was definitely from the drugs. Watching diet and exercise/strenghtening consistently for now. Listen to your body as you know it best.
