Ditto. Took fosamex for more than ten years with no apparent side effects. Until I broke a femur after tripping on a broken sidewalk and falling. I was on a girls trip out of state. I thought that was a fluke until they used the wrong sized rod... The break never repaired because the rod was too small and knocking on the bone keeping it from healing. 51 weeks later I had the rod removed and a bigger one installed. I was almost finished rehabbing when my left leg started giving out. In my follow up with Dr he discovered a fracture in left leg... now another rod this week. I exercise, took fosamex, take calcium, D3 and magnesium, eat well, don’t smoke, don’t drink, 1 cup decaf a day and still have this happen. So genetics is a real factor. Now the doctor wants me to take Forteo or TYMLOS. They are both almost cost prohibitive for me. I can’t get into a endocrinologist for 5 months!!! Where can I get help on the cost of the drugs?
