Re: Fosamax

Thanks for that link, Judity!

That's a very scary side effect. The worst part is that the medication
never goes away because it becomes part of the bone. So, if I take Fosamax
now in my 40s, and need dental surgery 20 years later, I would still have
the risk of getting osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Bambi, your post reminded me of local legal ads running here regarding
Fosamax and jaw/teeth problems. I Googled on it, and here is a link to
various sites about it. Whether or not you want to check them out is up
to you, of course.
