Been to the osteoporosis clinic today, didn't go overly well apparently a score of - 2.4 in my femoral hip isn't borderline osteoporosis when - 2.5 is!!! I've been on Tamoxifen since the end of 2013 and that is supposed to help your bones, but it hasn't helped mine!!!! He's chenged me to Raloxifene to try and improve my bones, anyone have any thought on this

I get a lot of pain in my bones but i have never thought it could be my medication. They have now changed my medication and i still get pains. Not sure if i have to have bone scans with this one

I have just completed 3 years (one infusion a year) of Zoledronate (Aclasta) I'm on a drugs holiday for now. My 4 fractures (L1, L2, L3 and T12) are still painful after 4 years.
