the latest march 10 on CBC warns against Actonel and others
as causing bone (hip area) fractures. Causing bones to become brittle rather than stronger. Know anything?

4 years after starting the "cocktail" I developed Bi lateral Avascular Nicrosis of the Hips. Total Right Hip replacment,Left Core Decompression. This ended my career & personal life 10 yrs ago. I have lived through the loss of my home & everything I ever worked for ALONE. Now the hip replacement has failed,I can't have surgery because my T cells are 173 even though my Viral load is undetectable.I am sorry I ever took the Meds, the 10yrs of suffering NOT worth it. I ccan't wait to DIE.
