Zoledronic Acid: I need feed back for this drug please

I was on Prolia for 5 years. I had my last injection in July and in January I have to decide what to take in order to avoid the rebound effect. 1 option is Reclast; another is the more likely one—Fosemax. They all have side effects. Prolia was/is joint pain and now tendinitis. I am always vigilant about dental appointments and had a thorough check up before starting. I was also advised to drink 64oz of water per day, so basically, I only drink water. Prolia helped me go from osteoporosis caused by AI to osteopenia and a lot of improvement except for 1 hip but still osteopenia. My bones are stable and my endocrinologist told me that my goal is to maintain bone, not build bone. I am taking vitamin K2 which I learned about somewhere on this forum, but I won’t know if that is doing anything because I don’t get a Dexa scan for another 2 years. I take it with my fattiest meal and separate from D3 which I take in the morning. Exercise helps. Yoga is my choice right now, but if my laundry room gets cleared I will try going back to TRX but weight bearing helps bones. I was not supposed to take anything except Tylenol for pain which did nothing but movement helps. Will update if I end up with something other than Fosamax, but during treatment, it’s important to take care of your bones and see your dentist. The jaw thing is worrisome but supposedly rare.

@lcr2017 why do you separate D3 and K2? Did a provider tell you to do that? My supplement has them together so I am curious. I do separate calcium and magnesium.
