| My gynecologist wanted me to start Actonel 2 years ago after my bone density test. But I already have jaw problems, dental problems, TMJ, and have had 2 bone grafts that didn't take. I may regret not taking it when I break something, but the risks just sounded too high for me. My oral surgeon/periodontist agrees. He has a big sign in his office saying to tell them if you have ever taken any of these drugs.
I've greatly increased my calcium/vitamin d and am walking a lot more. I just hope that's enough for my small frame. |
