Mood:   | Re: osteoporosis meds Am still waiting to hear how my mother is responding. She complains of pain, and guess what's one of the side effects? I have heard Boniva is good. What do many of your patients use? |

Is it Actonel by chance? I have a resident that has unexplained pain in all joints. I wonder if a connection exsists? Most of our Residents are on Evista, followed a close second by Actonel and one on Fosmax.

Mood: | Re: osteoporosis meds I want to say it is Actonel. And I do believe joint pain is one of the side effects listed.  |
