Well I find myself in the same dilemma as you....my right femur napped in two in 2006 with no trauma. Dr.'s told me they had only seen this type of fracture as a result of an automobile accident. Prior to my break I had pain in my right leg for quite a while. Dr. told me it was a pinched nerve.... I am now experiencing pain in my left leg & I am absolutely terrified of my left femur breaking. I too was taking Fosamax for a number of years prior to my fracture. I see my rheumatologist next week and hopefully will get some answers. I will post them if you would like!! Good luck...
