Boniva

Sharon of New Albany, IN September 7, 2009

On April 2,2009, I started using Boniva 150 MG monthly. The first month there was no consequence. The second month, two days after taking the prescribed amount, I could not get out of bed. My arm and leg bones had severe pain. I could not walk for 2 days. In contact with my physician, was told to stop the medication. Was told to restart when pain subsided, if I chose. Pain has been severe since then. Returned to MD who sent me to a Rheumatologist. This MD implied this pain, if due to this medication, could last for years in my system. He coukld not find any other cause of my bone and muscle pain on exam or lab tests. MD reported no treatments available because this medication works directly on the bone.

As of this date, 9-08-09, I still have severe pain in all joints;difficulty walking or moving. Prior to using this medication, I walked 6 miles a day and was very active with no other medication use, except for Nexium. I was not told by my PCP to not use this medication with the Nexium, prior to use. It is awful to have suffered this significant set back in my abilities...It was suppose to have helped, not hindered. The pain remains significant and excruciating.
