Your story is a typical Bisphosphonate epic. I hope your doctors realize the dangerous "time-bomb" you are walking on. You should get a nuclear bone scan immediately and if a stress fracture lights up....you should talk to an orthopedic surgeon about preventive intramedullary rodding so you do not experience another complete, painful fracture. The drugs stay in your bones for at least a decade, so there is along time from when you stopped Fosamax to that time. I wish you all the best!
