Since April I have had hip problems that I thought originated in the groin area with severe pain. I had a MRI of the hip and it showed osteonecrosis of the hip. Now I am scheduled for hip replacement in about 5 weeks. The reason I was given the drug was a bone density test that showed some bone loss, but I was never given any other details. Further study needs to be done on this drug to find out if it also causes oseonecrosis of the hip. I have been taking Fosamax then was changed Alendronate for approximately 4 years.

Is there an effective alternative to Fosamax without the osteonecrosis side effects? Is it true that osteonecrosis happens only when the bone is tampered with, e.g., during a dental implant in jaw bone? But if cartilege is worn away in the knee, then bone-on-bone wear can occur. Can this trigger osteonecrosis in a knee bone that has taken up alendronate during long term use of Fosamax? How can one tell the difference between osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis due to Fosamax?
