Avatar n tn I take once monthly Actonel. While I was pushing the pill through the foil blister, it broke. I did not take that pill for fear that it could cause stomach problems. My question is would it have been safe to take? Also, if I contact Proctor & Gamble, do you think they might replace the pill. If it was a daily pill, I wouldn't worry about, but I just lost a whole month of medicine due to a faulty package design.

Avatar f tn t let me take things like actonel or that class of drugs as my osteoporosis affected the bones in my jaw and they are afraid to take the chance as with those drugs there is a risk. I was disappointmented about the forteo. I think that drug is more dangerous than its worth personally. Are you still working as an RN? I am not able to work now and I miss it so much. Let me know you turn out regarding the forteo.
Avatar n tn I have osteoporosis of the right hip and osteopenia of the left hip. I have peripheral neuropathy (familial), and two bad knees.
Avatar n tn One may develop some kind of intestinal problems with Actonel and the alternative to that is to not to take drug empty stomach, that is to take it after a meal. Please let us know if you may have nay other queries and what your doctor says. Good luck.
Avatar n tn I have saver headaches, jaw pain , and TMJ. I take Lyrica and it helps most times. I find that I need to increase the Lyrica medication very often. I take a large amount of Magnisium because my left part of my face is tight and hard to open. MY question is, I do not understand my pain, Do my pain originate in my jaw or my head? In the past I had symptoms of Try mingle Neuralgia. Could that contribute to my facial pain? Why does the Lyrica wont work all the time?

Avatar f tn My brother was submitted and release from the hospital now I am here again chest pain and jaw is worst.
Avatar f tn I had pains in my lower jaw a few years ago and the pains radiated down through my neck and shoulder. The hospital couldn't find anything. Weeks later, I went for a dental check up and an xray was taken of my molars to check the root canals. He found a huge pocket of infection in my sinus canal, which cleared using anti biotics. Wasn't that lucky.

Avatar n tn Please advise how long term use (5 years) of anti-depressants and anti-psychotic meds like venlafaxine, olonzapine, zoloft, and prozac, even high stress, can create gum disease and jaw bone degeneration. Thanks. boxcar.
Avatar m tn Non-hormonal biphosphonates (such as Fosamax and Actonel) increase bone strength and are available as once-a-week pills. These can also be taken. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Avatar n tn For you who may wonder what this means, the lecturer is a medical doctor, a dentist and the MS is a masters in periodontology. The subject was periodontics and systemic disease. Fosomax is a biophosphonate drug. The biophosphonate drugs have been known to cause osteonecrosis (infection causing loss of bone) of the jaw. A disease you do not want to get. The lecturer said she would never recommend anyone taking them.
Avatar n tn About a year ago I started getting chest, upper back, shoulder and jaw pain. I noticed that the jaw and arm pain in particular seemed to be more prominent about 10 minutes into exercising. I had a stress echo which was normal. Pain is on and off, both with and without exertion. Forward to Summer... the discomfort while exercising seems more prominent again. Went to a second cardiologist for a 2nd opinion and had another stress test. All results were normal.
Avatar f tn I'm 35 years old, female, I brush my teeth every day yet I somehow got gum disease. I visited my dentist on Friday and has me on anitbiotics and an oral rinse. The swelling has gone down a bit (my two front teeth) but my teeth haven't gotten back into place. I do have to see a periodontist but the appt. isn't until Feb. 11. I want my teeth back the way they were...I now have a huge gap between my two front teeth, looks very bad.
Avatar f tn Please visit a doctor to check on the jaw,chest pains.
Avatar n tn It does work and also helps with pain in the jaw from swollen glands as we all know the ear, nose and throat is all connected.
1769997 tn?1313941848 I have over 40 stents as well as 2 bypass surguries. I have since developed tremendous chest pain that radiates down my left arm and up to my jaw. It comes out of nowhere and is sometimes a 10 out of 10. Nitro does nothing when it is ramped up so high. I have been in the ER 12 of the last 30 days and it is not only embarrasing but it *****. I have been told each time the ECG is good and the traponin levels are good as well as chest x rays are all good. I am at my wits end of what to do.
Avatar n tn You may be experiencing numbness in the tongue, a common symptom of multiple sclerosis per se. Review with your neurologist if your disease spectrum has changed and for these newer symptoms. He might like to add some muscle relaxant like tizanidine, baclofen or carbamazepine. You are welcome with any further clarifications. God bless.
190673 tn?1259203266 The pain usually comes from the position of the jaw, and the muscles being in a tight position changing how the jaw and mouth anatomy sits, causing discomfort and occludes blood vessels. Like the song says, the ___ bone is connected to the ____ bone... we're all connected and when one thing is tight, usually the next thing down the line is tight. Go for a massage, it will do you good and take out any upper back/neck/shoulder tention you may have.
Avatar f tn It is just achy, maybe slightly itchy, I feel the pain in and along my jaw and down my neck. It suddenly stopped for a day and then came back with a vengeance. It hurts to swallow, I get a sharp pain that shoots through my ear , especially with cold fluids.
5792451 tn?1390934690 If you remember, I had had a filling done, after which I developed severe jaw pain, a locked jaw and neck and shoulder pain. Several months later, I developed swollen joints in my fingers, toes and severe foot pain. This was accompanied by chronic migraine headaches, muscle pain and severe fatigue. I was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease by my cardiologist, but by then I had already had it in my body for perhaps 10 years or more.
