Back Pain After Taking Fosamax

I took my first Fosamax on Friday with no ill effects that day. Whe I woke up on Saturday morning I was having some pain in my right arm and my whole back. These pains gradually became worse as the day went on. Sleeping was very difficult and slept in spurts, waking everytime I moved. On Sunday morning when I tried to get out of bed I was in excruciating pain. My husband got me to the living room and in to a recliner and that is where I spent my day. Sunday evening I took some pain pills that my dentist had given me and was able to sleep. Today, Monday, sarted out ok but has gradually deterioated. Most pain is in my back (I can't stand totally erect) and has gone into both shoulders. It feels like a knife has been stuck into my back and jiggled around. This makes taking a deep breath horrible. My main concern is how long will I have these pains. I called my doctor today to let him know the side effects I am having and all I got was "stop taking it" and 'We will put it in your charts" Grrrrrr...

Hello, Nancy! How are you feeling, now? Have things gotten any better, yet? I am so sorry that you're miserable.

Many people have experience this from taking Fosamax and have had to stop taking it, according to the information provided by the FDA, you may also experience jaw pain, headache, stomach pain and constipation.

I can't say how long the symptoms will last, though, but it may take a few weeks, before you start to feel more normal. If things get worse, please seek medical attention.
