At this point, I haven’t tried another osteoporosis medication. I’ve started doing some research into other options. I plan to discuss with doctors before just restarting fosamax.

The orthopedic surgeon I consulted with for spinal fractures, told me that fosamax needs to build overtime in our system and that it could be up to 9 months to reach full effect. The recommendation was to delay physical therapy that long, so not to cause another fracture.

Definitely continue to monitor your weakness and listen to your body, because with gmg is it the disease, the new medicine, or something else?
