I am having pain in both legs. Starts from the feet and goes upwards. Both my knee joints and right shoulder joint also ache. Can this medication help? ## Bone-C Plus is a multivitamin supplement, it contains Calcitrol, Calcium, Folic Acid, Methylcobalamin and Vitamin B6. It is sometimes given to people with certain types of joint and never pain, because a lack in vital nutrients can cause or aggravate the condition. ## I ran a half marathon on 1st Dec 2013 and since mid Jan 2014 my and knee and ankle of my left leg are in pain.

My hip bone numbers are worse after the 6 month shot. ## Not all medications and treatments work for everyone that tries them, that's why they are usually several choices available in any given therapeutic category. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Prolia as possibly including bladder infection, arm/leg pain and back pain. You may need to speak to your doctor about trying an alternative. Is there anything else I can help with? ## This is a terrible drug. I only took 2 injections in 9/14 and 3/15, but still have the resulting hair damage and jaw pain. My ENT and Dentist both told me that my jaw is messed up...Prolia does mention that as a side effect, but not hair damage. My immune system is weaker too...even 3 years after stopping Prolia.

I have been prescribed Forteo for osteoporosis and am totally afraid of the side affects--mainly bone cancer. ## I need to know more about this drug as well. ## I am taking Forteo for almost a year now and am wondering if it is causing me to be exhausted all the time? ## My Grandson has had this prescribed to him . .25 year old with severe osteoporosis . . and he is afraid to take this. ## j'ai souvent des douleurs articulaires accompagnees d'une sensation de paralysie des membres inferieurs sans aucune raison apparente, et vous signale en passant que je viens de feter mon soixant-deuxieme anniversaire d'age.

Has anyone experienced growing/lengthening of bones while taking Forteo? I have been using it for about 5 months now and I think I'm actually growing! At age 51! I was just fitted for new sneakers and went from a size 9 to a 10.5 and I've noticed that the long sleeves on some of my tops have become not so long sleeved. ## The FDA does not list that as being a normal side effect of this medication, but there is no way to say how anyone will be affected by any given medication. The typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, joint/muscle aches, and administration site reactions. However, there are also other medical conditions that may cause such issues, so it would be best to check with your physician to be sure. Are you on any other medications?

I had two Reclast intravenous drugs; one in '08 & '09. In 2008 I had sinus lift augmentation with placement of 10 implants. In 2011, I lost one implant on the top & in 2012, I lost another implant on top again. I went to see my oral surgeon in July '12 and he told me that there was nothing he could do to help me as the bone in my upper jaw is severely deteriorated. Then I went to see a Prosthrodontist in Baltimore and he too could not make me a plate due to the severity of the upper bone. I subsequently learned that I cannot sue the drug company because they put on there indications about possible Jaw Bone problems. I do not remember my doctor telling me about the jaw bone problems prior to having the oral surgery. I am 63 years old & now left to flounder because...

is this drug related to morphine group of drugs? ## Hello, Stella! How are you? They are both opiate narcotics that are used to treat pain. Thus, they carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have gotten 3 shots ( or six if you by one in each bum) each two weeks apart. I have been having severe muscle and bone pain in my legs as well as weakness. Since I have bone mets to my spine that pain is a given. My doc has me on flexeril as well as pain meds. Does anyone know if my body just needs to adjust to this new med? My doctor won't change until I've had a scan after 3 months to see if it is working. If anyone has any suggestions if appreciate it. I usually walk 3-5 miles a day at my job so I am getting exercise. Thanks ## Hello, Andi! How are you? The FDA does report those as being common side effects of this medication. You may also experience depression, diarrhea, irritability and bladder pain. Has there been any change? Can anyone else that's been on this chim...

You may also experience nausea, dizziness, and bad headaches. Have you consulted your physician to see what else you can try? Are these the only medications you take?

dr.marshall urist,study of stem cells and this protein make up new cartilage in knees without surgery.is there such an item and dr.if so how is he contacted ## Hello! Sorry about your knees! Unfortunately, Dr. Urist passed away back in 2001, though yes, he is credited with identifying Bone-Mending Protein, he was an orthopedic surgeon. But, as it is a bone protein, it does not help cartilage, it helps bone. His work identified new proteins to help bones heal, when someone had suffered major fractures. They help with the regeneration of the bone. His work revolutionize orthopedic surgery, though ironically, it was ignored for many years, before finally being acknowledged as the "breakthrough" it was. Is there anything else I can help with?

i got severe pain in my spinal card if i am sitting continuously.and also at night times i got the pain severely like my bones are pending. in my exray , one my bone is in damaged condition like corrosion but i am just 22 what should i do? ## What has your doctor advised? One thing you should do is avoid being sedentary for long periods of time, especially if you know it is going to cause you pain. Lack of movement will always aggravate these types of conditions and many people let themselves become sedentary, not realizing how much of their pain can be alleviated through exercise and movement.

Lately, I've been having pain in the coccyx bone after sitting, whether on the bed or a chair. I did not fall down at all. Why is it hurting after sitting for only 25 minutes? ## It is really hard to say, you should see a doctor and let them do a physical exam. Do you sit a lot during the day? If so, that may cause it, since it is not good to be idle too much. It could also be due to your possibly developing arthritis, or some other medical condition, according to NIH reports, but only a doctor can give you a definitive answer. Are you on any medications? The FDA does warn that some can cause these types of issues as a side effect. Do you maintain proper posture when sitting? Soft surfaces, such as beds, are not ideal for sitting on for any long period of time, since you don't g...

I am a healthy 60 year old. I have never smoked, rarely drink alcohol, I work out often, do strength training, swim laps three times a week, walk frequently. With all of this I am still diagnosed with Osteoporosis. I have broken both wrists and a few ribs at different times. Finally looked up the effects of Zoloft on your bones, It said you have a 76% higher chance of breaking a bone on Zoloft or other antidepressants. This is horrific. Please give me tips to get off this killer of bone density. I was put on Zoloft for PMS and have been on Zoloft for thirty some odd years and no one has ever said it will destroy my bones. Every time I try to get off Zoloft I get weepy, which is off base of who I am normally. I am a very happy person. Please help. Thanks. ## Hello LU! How are you? Have y...
