Update: Tooth Extraction delayed because of risks while on Alendronic Acid
my dentist now informs me that having digitised my tooth X-ray and reconsidered, it could be saved with root canal treatment by a specialist, cost £800 to £1000, starting with a consult of £100. Alternatively I could proceed with extraction, however he will not do it, he would refer me to an NHS hospital

Drug combinations
Hi all, I wonder if anyone on the forum is taking both Thyroxine and Alendronic Acid (AA)? I am taking a cocktail of drugs, as so many of us are, but have put off taking AA since diagnosed with PMR in 2022 - cannot believe where those 2 years went... I've been on Thyroxine (150 mcg/daily) for nigh

Tooth Extraction delayed because of risks while on Alendronic Acid
Went for a molar tooth extraction yesterday. It had cracked at the side of an old filling and extraction is the only option. When I told the Dentist I was on Riveroxyban, Steroids and Alendronic Acid, he immediately told me that my extraction will have to be delayed for at least several months while

Well at least that’s one less thing to worry about.
I’m so pleased to learn that my recent dexa scan after seven years of prednisolone is normal and unchanged from three years ago. Not being a pill popper before diagnosis I have struggled to take the calcium and Vit D supplement and Alendronic Acid which were prescribed as routine by my GP. A dexa scan

Alendronic Acid and diverticulosis
since my Rheumy discovered I have two fractured vertebra, she is insisting I take AA. At my Dexa scan last summer AA was suggested but left to my decision as it showed ostopaenia not osteoporosis. I took AA last weekend and experienced heartburn, indigestion and difficulty and some pain swallowing. I

Alendronic Acid and ears
I have chronic ear ache in one ear - seeing private consultant soon- audiologist thinks may be bones problem. Have takes AA for 5 years. Saw on Google could damage ears like jaw - believe should not take before and after extraction. It’s rare - should I stop AA for now - scans showed bone density borderline

Teriparatide - what to do next?
I’ve recently finished 2 years of Teriparatide injections. Endocrinologist wants me to take Alendronic acid tablets but I’m not keen. Teriparatide is the first treatment I’ve had and osteoporosis classed as severe. One fracture of L2 few years back. I wondered what protocol other people have tried after

Has anyone taken a non-medication route and seen an improvement in their osteoporosis through only supplements/diet/exercise?
Hello, I have osteoporosis and been advised to take medication - either HRT or Alendronate. However, I as an alternative wondered whether anyone who is not on medication has seen an improvement in their osteoporosis through only supplements/diet/exercise?

Is there a chat network for people with osteoporosis in England?
I have just been diagnosed with osteoporosis and my Dr prescribed Alendronic Acid 70 mg once a week, but after reading the side affects of taking it am unsure whether to take them. So far I have only broken my wrist bone about ten years ago when I had a fall, I have small aches and pains and have neuropathy

Alendronic acid tablets 😠
I’ve been taking these for a few months and understand that they have to be swallowed properly, and whilst upright, as they can cause problems in the oesophagus. Does anyone one else struggle with these blooming things, even with loads of water etc. Why oh why do they have to be the size of a horse

Omeprazole query
Recently diagnosed and on prednisolone; also prescribed Alendronic acid (weekly dose) and Omeprazole. I thought my GP said that as I have no history of gastric problems to only take the Omeprazole in the evening before I take the alendronic acid the next day. But she has prescribed enough for once daily
