The rheumatologist quoted in the new reports, claims that
the fractures start after 5 yrs. I have a link, if you want I'll search for it, showing in animated gifs how all the osteoporosis treatments actually work on the cells. If you want me to put it up I'll do it next task. (it was on PN and rather tricky to find)
These drugs are new, and haven't been around that long really.
The first reports came in patients using steroids, and given these drugs...those were the reports of pelvic fractures.
But... after viewing those gifs from a medical school, I sort of decided then that the bisphosphonates are going to flop majorly soon. I think the risk of freak fractures is greater than they are telling us. (sadly).
