alendronate sodium (70mg) for osteoporosis

I am taking this as it transpired after a bone density test that I've got osteoporosis in my back and hips. I was really surprised to hear it because I am very active, I think, I walk and cycle a lot and I've never broken anything so it doesn't quite make sense. But I'm taking the medicine anyway so that it doesn't get any worse.

alendronate sodium (70mg) for osteoporosis

For 3 years now I've been taking one capsule of alendronic acid a week. I adhere rigidly to the user guidelines. I'm very happy, don't have any horrid side effects. Walking/moving is even better. Feel top!

alendronate sodium (70mg) for osteoporosis

Once a week I got up half an hour earlier to take this tablet, never had any problems with it. After spontaneous vertebrae collapse and broken ribs, I had to switch to prolia/denosumab. One injection every six months. But I really regret this. Muscle pain, a lots more joint pain, tiredness, can't walk as far and short of breath, wish I was still on the tablets.
