My old Rheumy put me on Actonel. I noticed after taking it a while, that my jaws seemed to hurt. His answer was to get off of it for a while, which I did. I don't notice this now, so perhaps it wasn't even related.

However, I mentioned this to my Endocrinologist, who very snottily asked if this happened before or after I found out there were problems being linked to these drugs... I suspect he was implying that I wanted to get in line for a lawsuit and his stock would be affected... Never mind that people are concerned over jaw necrosis...

I wonder how these same physicians react when their own family members are affected in some manner by drugs or medical devices...
