actonel hip pain

I have osteoporosis of the right hip and osteopenia of the left hip. I have peripheral neuropathy (familial), and two bad knees.

Degenerative change of the inferior of the inferior aspect of both S1 joints, right greateer than left. Mild narrowing of both hip joint spaces related to degenerative disease. Complete disc space loss at L2-3 qnd L5-S1 with moderate narrowing at other levels. Also anterior osteophytes of moderate degree. I am 75 years old, have had many surguries, including two recent knee replacements.

I am 3 years post breast cancer i had lumpectomy chemo rads i have taken tamoxofen for 2,5 years now on aromasil i had a bone density scan and was told i had low calcuim levels, now on calcuim sandox and actonel asked if i had osetoprosis and was told no have read around actonel and have not taken it yet as of the side effects please can you advice thanks.

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.

I am a 59 year old female.The reading on my bone density test is minus 4.1 for my spine and minus 2.6 for my legs and hip. However, my doctor isn't prescribing any medication for me but tells me to continue taking calcium supplement and Vitamin D and come back in a year to do another test. Since I am obviously having osteoporosis, shouldn't I be taking any prescription drug? I am worried sick over the reading and need some expert opinion to go back and talk to my doctor again.

Given my family history of cancer, esophogeal cancer is probably higher on the list of risks for me than a broken hip, so I will continue to take the Prevacid and not the Actonel. I hope that some information in this post will help you. Good Luck.

Thank you for the response. I think I have had about every GI test done. Who checks hormonal endocrine imbalances. Metabolic issues, etc? I have had 4 thyroid nodule biopsies done now. I do have severe Osteoporosis and a new Internist I am going to has ordered a new bone density test. I have been having bad neck, low back and hip pain. I don't think my Endo doctor has been following up on that like she should but I won't take Actonel or Fosomax.

i currnetly am taking actonel for my bones the past 3 years and klonopin i per night and take alot of vitamins such as B compex etc. no alcohol consumption but i do smoke half a pack of cigarettes per day no other medical conditions known 6 months ago all my blood workups were normal . ANY IDEAS WHAT CAN BE GOING ON WITH ME ?

I am just tired of taking medicenes that seem to cause other problems. I think I have the GERD from taking Actonel even though I followed the instructions to the letter for taking the Actonel. No longer take it. Just take calcium.

I have taken fosamax and actonel and have had stomach problems and aching bones. My doctor is thinking about the yearly injection of reclast. How safe is it and will I have more problems with my bones aching - I can't sleep at night a lot from the pain.

ENT docs all had me on Nexium on and off. Was told to stay on it. After about 3 months, was having bad low back pain and pain on the top of both thighs. I then had a left rib fracture of unknown cause. At that time, no side effects like this were published. I did find a small group with similar symptoms but my Doc said it was not the Nexium. I stopped it and within 4 days, the flank and thigh pain were gone. I was later put on Omeprazole, 40 mg 2x a day fir the past few months.

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.

It also seemed to reduce some joint pain and swelling in my knees which I read could be a sx of a hypothyroid. Hope you're feeling better now that your 3 months post.

If you are taking pain reliever and have taken antibiotics and you are having a reoccuring fever of 99.9 F or more, then this could indeed be a problem. The only way to know if it is viral or you need an antibiotic is for the doctor to run some blood tests to see if your body is fighting off any illnesses. But also if you are on osteoporosis medications currently, the medication you are taking could be causing your symptoms.

Hey- Anyone experiencing hip pain at all? My left hip hurts so bad all of a sudden. When I try to put my left leg onto my right leg. Its a shooting pain. Not sure if the neuro needs to know this or my regular dr?

I get really extreme hip pain but only when im laying down.

I HEAR YA on the hip pain! its aweful! i had it from 5 months on last time and im on day 3 of not sleeping flat on my back and its already getting uncomfortable (im 16 weeks) so im not looking forward to the upcoming nights lol all i can say is use big pillows to lean on, i already told the BF that we are gonna have to move the bed against a wall so i can put a pillow against it so it doesnt fall off and lean on it...i know last time i switch sides all night and never had a break of pain...

I have also have pain in hip which radiates from right thigh around the back which worsens with standing,eases a little with rest. My problem is with the Doctors who are obsessed with diagnosing everything on my current diseases, which I have to say is weeing me off to say the least. I did have a right Pyloplasty many years before a diagnosis was made of Multiple Sclerosis & Fibromyalgia which has left me so sensitive to conventional medication.

m 15 weeks and 3 days along and over the past 3 days I have been having horrible hip pain. It starts out being very sore in the morning and by bed time I am almost in tears. I can feel the baby move some, so I think it's ok. This is my first pregnancy, so my fiance thinks it's just my body adjusting to being pregnant. What is going on???

17 weeks pregnant and i get hip pain so bad that sometimes i cant even walk. I tell myself its my body changing for the baby. But its been constant for a couple weeks.

I'm 15 weeks and I have really bad hip pain. It's worse in the evening and makes me limp. Anyone else had this? I didn't think it was supposed to happen this early. Is it normal to have it this early?

Anyone know what I can do to help with hip pain? I used to sleep on my stomach before pregnancy and up until I week or so ago I could still sleep on my stomach. Im 29 weeks now and wanted to cry in the middle of the night because both of my hips hurt so bad from having to to sleep on my side. Anyone else, or know how to stop/help it??

Does anyone else have hip pain when sleeping on your side. If so what helps u? I have had some rly bad nights. Cant sleep on my back cause I have a cat that hurts my stomach when she lays there.

Is there any way to relieve this terrible pain I'm having in my left hip? Sometimes after work I can't even walk, and I'm only 5.5 months.

Anyone have really bad hip pain around 27weeks?.... Ugh sleep ***** and hurts to walk around especially in the morning...
