Add me to the list of women who have suffered femur stress fractures. I am a healthy 63 yr. old woman...no issues other than taking boniva for 10 yrs. at the suggestion of my gynecologist for osteopenia. I am recovering now from surgery...a rod placed in my right femur because of stress fractures. It is a difficult recovery and I will start rehab soon to learn to reuse the leg. I face possible surgery in the left femur which also has hairline fractures. I believe this is due to boniva and hope that the FDA will investigate and will issue warnings and take steps to be sure that physicians know about this issue. I think we are the tip of an iceberg and more women will suffer needlessly. Thank you. Karen Amdur
