Osteoporosis Dx

<p>I can do 15 pound dumb bells, but I haven’t been lifting them over my head, just chest presses and flys. I need to get heavier weights and I’ll add in VeryHappy’s routine.</p>

<p>My doctor really wanted me to take Fosamax, and I was going to, but decided to have some dental work done first. I needed a root canal and had been putting it off. The endodontist I went to warned me about the possibility of jaw necrosis. He told me that this is one thing you do not want to have happen to you. He sees a lot of patients from the local senior housing area, and he feels it is a lot more common than the studies seem to say. According to him, once you took this stuff, you were at risk forever, even if you stopped taking it. Since I seem to have issues when it come to dentistry, I decided not to take the Fosamax.</p>

<p>blankmind – another reason not to take the drugs! </p>

<p>And VeryHappy, I’m with you – not giving up the coffee. I have 2 cups every morning and that’s all. But, my doc never mentioned anything about coffee anyway. Bring on the heavier weights, but don’t mess with my morning coffee!!!</p>

<p>I have problems with my jaw - popping and crunching, and hurts like the dickens when I have any dental work done. I will NOT be taking fosomax@@@@@</p>
