Hi Christine,
Thank you for your question and for finding EmpowHER. One doctor who posted on EmpowHER in 2008 stated about biophosphates, "These are BAD drugs that actually make the bones weaker not stronger, and they should be banned by the FDA." Here is the whole response from Dr. Jeffrey Dach, MD, to the question similar to yours: ASK: Fosamax and Femur Fractures
Here are some reasons for hypercalciuria: Causes for hypercalciuria
And finally, here are suggested treatments for osteoporosis (it's important that you work with your doctor to find the right treatment program that works for you): Osteoporosis Treatments
Good luck, and let us know how you are doing.
