Anon,

There have been increasingly alarming reports recently about bone strength in women who are using Fosamax. Here are a few threads you may want to read:

I don't mean to scare you, but I do want you to be informed so you can talk about this with your doctor. Have you told her or him about the increased pain? This is something he or she needs to know about right away.
