For those of you who are kicking yourselves -- if you have enough range of motion to do so! -- for taking Fosamax, consider that your injuries may have occurred regardless. I am a 49-year-old woman with osteopenia in certain areas, osteoporosis in others, who has never taken Fosamax or similar meds; I've been having thigh pain, went to the orthopedic doc and found that my femur has a stress fracture. Obviously, I can't say whether your injuries were or were not caused by Fosamax. My point is to possibly make you feel better knowing that, just maybe, you did nothing -- including taking Fosamax -- to increase your risk of injury. When bone density is below what is should be, these things can happen.
