Osteoporosis

[kimmy59]

Hello everyone

I was prescribed Alendronic Acid but it always made me feel ill so my consultant has prescribed me Stronntium Ranelate 2g in water to be taken at bedtime for 6 weeks. Does anyone else had this.

Hi Kim, hope your new medicaton works better for you. The doctor says I may have to go on this alendronic acid stuff folllowing recent spinal fractures . Had a dexa scan this week to see if osteoporosis might be present and should know the reults by the end of the coming week. Keep well, Lovelight x

Don't rule it out my brother in law takes it and he's fine, but it doesn't unit everyone. Xxx

That's a shame you should have something.

I could not use alendronic acid and was given strontium renelate. Then someone realised I don't move around so much and very quickly took me off it. It was the first time I understood the words "controlled panic"! Apparently it can cause blood clots if you are not fully mobile. Now I just take the Adcal tablets. x.

I don't like the sound of that, I might have a word before I start taking it. Xxx

I was prescribed Alendronic acid few years ago and also adcal, well I couldnt take Alendronic acid cos I need to swallow pills with food, well instructions were to take 1 pill with a whole glass of water, so in the end I just didnt bother, then to find out they can cause blood clots if not fully mobile, which I am not, I already had lots of TIAs (mini strokes), and it was same hospital where i was treated by an op that suggested the drugs, well you can imagine how I felt after reading the side effects, we do our bodies best and and I also went with my gut feeling thank goodness I did, although I do not take any drug in its place and im no worse now bone-wise than two years ago.
