I was put on Fosamax & Evista when it first became available for Osteopenia (very early surgical menopause). When it became notorious for side effects, my dr said to get off it immediately. Now, years later, have developed jaw pain and assoc symptoms on one side....to be investigated.
Can it affect a person years later??

At this point I'm really not sure that it's possible to say whether it was caused by the medication or just something that's developed.

What type of jaw pain are you having?

Have you had any dental problems?

Do you grind your teeth, at all?

I think the answer is really going to depend on what's causing the issue and it's hard to guess, when you're still not sure.
