Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

My endocrinologist wants me on Fosamax since I am taking Letrozole for another year (5 in all) for breast cancer. My general practitioner agrees. I was on Fosamax previously & had jaw pain. Endocrinologist says Fosamax does not affect jaw. Anyone else have this problem?

Fosamax is a Bisphosphonate..

From the article: ""Here at the USC School of Dentistry, we're getting two or three new patients a week that have bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw -- and I know we're not the only ones seeing it," Sedghizadeh says in a news release."
