Would like to know people's experience using Fosamax

Took fosamax last year, 3 doses. Had hair loss, numbness in arms and fingers, extreme fatigue. Stopped taking it. Doctor said it was taking calcium out of my body.

Now gyn wants me to take prolia and I refused. Don't want the side effects. Anyone have experience with this? Any natural cures that work?

I took fosamax literally twice, years ago. It said I’m the box…”discontinue use if hip pain is present”. Well, it made my hips hurt, so I stopped…found out later I had AVN..avascular necrosis. Glad I stopped.
Had the same thing happen with steroids, so I stopped that as well. Unfortunately, dr.s seem to treat Al patients the same. EVERYBODY is different…but since you don’t find drs that practice in in more than 1 area, it’s quite frustrating because you get no continuity on care

I had the same issue with fosamax. I wasn’t told that it was effecting my calcium…but I took it twice & had pain in my left hip swimming. It was QUITE noticeable! It scared me, I never took it again.
