Hello to all of you that have become victims of Fosamax. I posted a few times in the past (look for Cee) with my ordeal. It has now been 22 months since my last surgery. Bilateral femur rodding. I had an awesome orthopod who knew immediately what caused my fractures. He was very careful to use the words, "could be related to Fosamax use." Nonetheless, he gave my hope. I have been back to work as an RN, 12 hour shifts, and the only pain I have is bursitis from time to time at the rod insertion site in my hips. Nothing that a few Motrin can't take of. For all of the Doubting Thomas's out there, try to find Diane Sawyer's TV article on the internet, Fosamax and Femur Fractures that she did this past summer. Then, have your Drs. look at it too. Boniva, Actonel etc are all of the same family. I am afraid to try Forteo (black box warning). Instead, I take calcium, Vitamin D have Dexa scans annually and do weight bearing exercises. I also see a Bone Metabolic Specialist in Philadelphia who monitors me. So far, so good. Good luck and God bless all of you. See you in court. Cee
