I took the Actonel tablet as directed and have had horrible back and hip pains and was in bed all day yesterday.

Today I am still hurting and now a stomach ache that won't go away. I know I will not be getting that prescription filled for sure.

I called my Doc and she said to come in a month to see her and we'd try something else.

I am scouring the internet for a natural remedy.

Mom takes alendronate which ( I think) is generic form of Fosamax and she is doing fine.

I read all the warnings on all the osteoporosis drugs and they all scare me!
