Poor treatment results???
Most people who take bone meds do not have the side effects. Most people who do are reporting them come to this type of forum hope to get support.
The majority who do not are busy living their lives.
Jaw necrosis, bone breaks, etc are rare.
There are great ways to do your own research and balanced reporting.
I have taken fosomax, forteo, evenity and Prolia without noticeable side effects.

@gravity3 @dsg2026 More support comments about some of the risk vs benefit of meds are in the below paper, which was a new one for me. I have 4 friends who have done OP drugs, some for over a decade, with no side effects. They are not the ones participating in online discussions.
