Side Effects And Longetivity
UpdatedI was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2008, 9 years ago. I was taking alendronic acid for 3 years and have been on a drug holiday for nearly 4 years since. I'm due to have denosumab treatment shortly but am anxious of the side effects after reading patients comments. My bones have reverted back to the condition they were in 9 years ago, I suffer from a very weak bladder due to surgery and have irritable bowel symptoms. Should I seek more medical help as bladder and bowel constipation are two of the side effects this treatment may cause from what I understand and are there other treatments available which could help me please? Also, what is the maximum number of years you can be on this treatment and how long should I expect to live taking this new drug? I go to the gym regularly, eat healthily and take a calcium tablet prescribed by my GP. Sorry to hear there are so many patients with problems. Thanking you in advance for your help.

I have osteopenia and have not or will not take any type of bone infusions for this. I did read and have been told that your bones go back to their original state as before you took it. I have been told about muscle pain and thigh bone breaks! NO not for me! I have rheumatoid arthritis and my bones ache enough without adding something to hurt me more! Best of wishes for you and your conditions!
