I forgot to mention he also prescribed me Alendronate. I think it is generic for fosamax. Anyone have any thoughts? I am hesitant to take it. He was not concerned enough to order a bone density test. He said maybe in a couple of years. Then I wonder why do you want me to take this.

@carley some of your symptoms sound like they could also be a side effect of the Alendronate (Fosamax). I would talk to your doctor about the possibility of your pain being due to the side effects of the drug.

Yes! Take alendonate. It wasn’t mentioned to me when I was on prednisone and now I have serious osteoporosis!
