WOMEN CAUTIONED ABOUT BONE DENSITY MEDS

I see this all to frequently.  Female patients who have been taking bone density medications for osteoporosis.  For years, the long term use of these medications has been found to have the reverse effect on bones.
I see and treat many women who have been taking Boniva, Fosamax, etc and develop stress fractures in the long bones of the feet.  My most recent example is a 77 year old female who had an injection of Reclast 3 months ago.  She developed an ankle stress fracture and navicular bone fracture of the foot!
