Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

I've recently been diagnosed with Osteopenia and Osteoporosis runs in my family. My mother, age 82, takes a prolia shot 2 times per year. I am 61 and my insurance won't pay for that so my doc recommended Boniva. I took my first dose yesterday and got along pretty well, mild heartburn most of the day, but this morning woke up with back pain and chest pain. I'm breathing fine so I'm not concerned about that but am uncomfortable and wonder if anyone else has experienced this. How long does this last? I've contacted my doc so I'm waiting to hear back from them.

Heard back from my doctor and she doesn't think this back pain is from the Boniva. I'm not satisfied with this answer. She isn't from Mayo by the way.
