Avatar f tn I took my first dose of Alendronate and then experience significant muscle pain for the next 4 days. Does anyone know if I should expect this to happen each time I take it or is it something to happen for the first few times until my body adjusts to the medicine?
Avatar n tn Do you mean Fosamax (alendronate)? If you do, its for treating bone problems like Osteoperosis by adding bone mass and slows bone loss. I use it for Osteopenia.
Avatar m tn The prescription drug Fosamax (the generic is alendronate sodium) is a medication which has been prescribed to hundreds of thousands of postmenopausal women to treat osteoporosis and help increase bone mass thereby reducing the chance of spinal or non-spinal fractures. Fosamax has also been prescribed to increase bone mass in men with osteoporosis. Brand name Fosamax is manufactured in the United States by Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc.
Avatar f tn I am also taking Aromasin for bc. Stopped alendronate (I am osteopenic due to 30 yrs of prednisolone and Arimidex) in case this caused the oesophagitis. Would appreciate your advice.
Avatar f tn thankyou,i am with contact of my doctor ,he said there is no solution for damaged vertibras,but calcium and vitiman d and alendronate sodium/cholecaiciferol tablets will help spine and bones from further damages but what to do with prednisones i cant stop them because of asthma and taking of them will damage other bones isnt there any other solution instead of prednisones, i know there is nothing accept these because my doctor told me:(
Avatar m tn The authors examined the effects of high-dose oral alendronate (40 mg daily) for 6 months on 3 adult patients with intractable headache due to fibrous dysplasia of the skull. Each patient had disease processes not amenable to surgery. The patients underwent clinical follow-up at 1, 3, and 6 months. Their pain levels were documented at each visit by using a visual analog scale. All 3 patients demonstrated a significant decrease in pain levels and became independent of scheduled analgesics.
Avatar f tn Osteoporosis medications like Raloxifene (Evista), alendronate (Fosomax), risendronate (Actonel) and ibandronate (Boniva) all can cause flu like symptoms in individuals that are taking them. I am not sure what medications you are on, but this could be your problem.
Avatar n tn Also, would it perhaps be possible to add some alendronate, or something else to help her bone density and still be able to benefit from the thyroid medication? Thank you so much!
Avatar f tn As to eating out in restaurants, etc, -- again, life is not without risks once you get out of bed in the morning, but I wouldn't give restaurants a second thought. And why would you want to kiss someone with a cold sore?
2863077 tn?1436670789 When does the risks of miscarriage go down? I am 14 weeks today and at week 7 I had an ultrasound and the heartbeat was 136 bpm. I get to hear the heartbeat again via doppler in a week and 1 day. I had a miscarriage last year at 12 weeks and 3 days. It's pretty hard to relax, so what do you guys think?
Avatar n tn I guess im thinking about the risks (regarding hand job and finger in anus) with her hands/fingers, if they had cuts or sores. I didnt see sores or ask if there are cut/sores. How about the towels and bedding if reused. Does this pose a risk too since i was naked?
Avatar n tn Pardon bemusement but who would have thought you might meet a part-time CSW at a computer class. I don't mean to minimize your concern, but this reminds me that we never know who it is that we are meeting or what their backgrounds might be. Your risk from the exposure you describe is low. Your partner sounds level headed and if she is taking precautions her risk for HIV may actually be lower than someone who indiscriminately meets new partners at a bar or club. Most CSWs in the U.S.
Avatar f tn I understand that there are risks to having any surgery. I am scheduled for surgery next Wednesday and am riding a wave of emotions right now. My sister in law had a brain tumor removed in 2006 and she had a brain stem stroke as a result. My family is somewhat apprehensive for me to have surgery after my sis in laws result.
Avatar f tn Last night me and a male were fooling around he was rubbing his penis on the opening of my vagina. He didn't penetrate me but the head was at my opening and he attempted but I stopped him. He didn't ejaculate but I know pre-cum can carry hiv. I asked him about his status he said negative, but people lie. What are my risks? I was just tested 2 weeks ago with a negative result I'm not sure if I should get tested again.
Avatar n tn I do feel some I think ovulation pain. Last dose is tomorrow. What is the risks of having another miscarriage if I get pregnant NOW during my ovulation since I just recently had one. I probably should have waited til next cycle but I am just anxious...not getting any younger and I am a high risk. My youngest daughter was premature and born 2 months early...She's fine of course. However I delivered a son on 06/22/09 and he was too early and didn't survive.
Avatar n tn They are now scheduling a cardiac cath after 2 abnormal stress tests and bloodwork. I would LOVE to know the risks and long term affects of the Cath and the Nytroglycerine.
