I have been dealing with left thigh pain for a few months now. I recently went on a diet and have been exercising more so I thought maybe that was my problem. The pain is always on the outside of my left leg and always in the same place. A sharp pain even when I am sitting. I saw a commercial on TV about the fosamax and made an appointment with my Doc right away. My question is, I only took the fosamax on and off for maybe 1 1/2 to 2 years, and that was probably 5 years ago. Is it possible it could have caused my pain problem in that little time? Thanks
