I am on Medicare with prescription coverage and received a notice that Actonel was more expensive and that my doctor would have to change me back to Fosamax. During this time I have lost four molars as the bone damage continues. I will of course discuss this with my doctor during the next visit, but in the meantime does the problem out weigh the good the drug does? Just wondering.

Since that time, I've had sensory and motor nerve damage on the left side of my jaw. I am in constant pain and the damage continues to worsen. I started taking Fosamax in 2004. The endodontist did not review my medical history, did not advise me of the increased risk. The Texas Board of Dental Examiners on 2-27-09 placed a conditional dismissal on him as the result of the complaint I filed. Of all the medical doctors I have been to in the last 20 months, no one has been able to recommend any type of treatment that might help my injury. I had a root canal procedure done on 6-8-07.

Our dentist spotted the problem and referred her to a surgeon. His first recommendation was for her to stop using FOSAMAX immediately, which she did.
