Common Questions and Answers about Actonel jaw problems

actonel

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 n tn Every doctor seems to think it is allergies. I have also recently been to an ear, nose, and throat specialist. Shows chronic sinus problems but no current infection and no need for surgery at the present time. I also do the sinus rinse and have veramyst spray. Ear, nose, and throat specialist said to keep doing what I am doing and contact him in 2 months. I also have GERD and am currently taking Nexium since last May 2007.
Avatar f tn Suzanne, Happy Birthday! I too often wonder how I got old so fast.lol Time flies I guess. I will check out that website. The drs won'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?

Avatar f tn 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.

Avatar f tn Almost 2 years ago I had my lower left wisdom tooth removed, ever since I have had problems with my jaw. My jaw now pops, clicks, grinds, and makes crunching noises as well as locks. It causes me a lot of pain at times and seems to now be very sensitive to cold weather. I also notice that when opening and closing my mouth it seems like the alignment of my jaw is wrong, the right side appears to pop out when my mouth opens and the left does not.
Avatar m tn It was the weekend I had antibiotics of my husbands (enough for 3 days)I was sure this was an infection.I made an appt w/the oral surgeon . My jaw felt dislocated I couldnt chew and could barely open my mouth.The oral srgeon said it was tmj and that when a tooth is extracted sometimes there is inflamation in the joint he compared it to a disk in a back . I was told to use warm moist heat and given muscle relaxers.
Avatar f tn which has fallen out of favor as it usually does not work very well and has the risk of over-treatment which can cause heart rhythm problems and bone loss. Some experts argue that all nodules >4cm (40mm) should be removed as FNA biopsy may not be as acurate in this setting.
Avatar f tn July morning I got up with a severe jaw pain, went to the hospital emergency (in Sweden). My BP and EKG was normal, but Tropomine level was elevated.After one day observation and Angiography the doctor found a 90% blockage in the right coronary artery. Immediate Angioplasty was done and a medicated stent was placed. After 2 days I came home with prescriptions of Clopidogrel 75mg, Metoprololtartrate 50mg, Acetylsalycylic Acid 75 mg. and Simvastatin 40mg. My Total cholesterol was 5.
Avatar n tn Because the pressure never dissipated I started to do what i could to relieve it, which was opening my jaw as wide as I could, and clenching it as hard as I could, which would help to relieve the pressure temporarily. I then switched primary care doctors and he said I have TMJ, "theres nothing I can do and I won't give you a referral to an ENT.
Avatar m tn My TMJ specialist says he grades my condition as a 3-B out of 5. I can move my jaw normally to the left but only 5cm to the right. My right side being above and behind the condyle. Would this cause ringing and a sense of fullness in both ears? Also, my ears have been popping for several months. I went to an ENT for ETD. How does my TMJ cause this popping? Does it affect the eustachian tube or am I hearing something else?
Avatar n tn I have for about a month feeling pain in chest, face, jaw and weakness in my left arm. My doctor did a ekg, but saw nothing. What could it be?
Avatar n tn m 40 years old and recently found out that I also have osteo penia in one of the vertabrae in my lower back and my doctor wants me to take Actonel...however, those bone density medications can really exacerbate the reflux problems.
Avatar f tn t believe that at my age , this is a huge problem for me. I am taking Paxil and for the last 10 years I was taking Actonel, until my doctor suggested I stop because of medical reports showing after long use, it stops working. I know the 2 problems are not linked, but still remain a concern. Is there a medication to stop me from my late night binges. This is when I eat the most. It seems there would be an appetite supressant that would be helpful.
Avatar f tn I am currently still getting my jaw adjusted. As a result I have a situation where I get a little dizzy and very exhausted after I have sung for an hour. I lost my voice completely last fall. When the orthodontist adjusted my jaw back, my voice came back. But if I sing for any length of time, my vocal chords don't hurt, but I feel like a nerve is over stimulated resulting in mild dizziness and exhaustion.
698356 tn?1240150727 Hi Rachel....I also am a member of the night mouth piece club...lol When I am low on thyroid hormone my jaw aches really bad. Once I get optimal again, it does let up a lot. Your right....the price of our "appliances" is outrageous! Do you use warm moist heat packs on your jaw?? It usually helps me.
4922507 tn?1361076248 The tooth taken out was a baby tooth - I have congenitally missing 2nd premolars on my lower jaw. The extraction seems to go straightforward although i needed a double dose of local anaesthetic, as the first lot didnt seem to take even after about 20 mins waiting. all was well at first. However since the extraction I am suffering from insomnia and just recently I have felt a pain increase.
