Osteoporosis
"I have osteoporosis in my left hip, My doctor prescribed alendronate I took it 4 weeks the 2nd day I started having  and continue to have hip, back, arm and leg pains.  I did not have any pain before the meds.  I went back to the doctor he said my side effects were not normal and to keep trying for 4 more weeks.. I have not continued it,  I see no reason to continue something that has only caused me intense pain.  I have a very high tolerance for pain but I hurt all the time now.  I exercise by walking 2+ miles every day, it is helping but if I miss a day the pain is twice as bad again.  I do not want to see or even think about of what another 4 weeks would do to my body."
