Dear Jo,
I just happen to turn on my computer and got the note that you had commented. Please read my story, Two Broken Femurs and a Broken Back Caused by Fosamax! on this web site. I have had both femurs broken. There is no way around the rodding. Healing is a big IF. I am having surgery tomorrow, Oct. 12 to re-rod my left femur which has not healed in 15 months. Fosamax can be a killer drug!! I personally opted not to use Forteo as it had a big black box warning for bone cancer and since my bones are totally porous, I thought that might be too much. However, having said that, I know some gals in my support group who have experienced healing along with the rodding, both in their fractures and as a preventive measure. The femurs snap, literally at any time, totally non-traumatic in nature. Please get your legs rodded as soon as is humanly possible. The trauma and pain it causes are the worst thing I have ever experienced.
