I broke both my femurs and had rods inserted in both. I have been off of Fosamax since January of 2008, after taking it for 9 years. My new endocrinologist has suggested I take 1200 mg of calcium and 2000 IU Vit.D daily. I also exercise every day, yoga, the pool and at home. I don't lift weights, but from what I have read, that is a good plan. I truly believe that Fosamax was related to the fracturing of my femurs. The literature now says that you should not be on it for more than 5 years. I suggest you google Fosamax and femur fractures. The more we read and the more we talk to each other the more we will be able to make informed decisions.
