OSTEONECROSIS OF THE SHOULDER FROM FOSAMAX

Fosamax is an oral bisphosphonate medication prescribed to treat osteoporosis. The drug inhibits bone turnover, which is designed to reduce the risk of fractures. However, long-term use could lead to a gradual decay of bone in the jaw, knee, hip or shoulder as a side effect of Fosamax.

Shoulder Necrosis results in the gradual deterioration of the shoulder bone. Although the bone decay can occur in any part of the body, but is most commonly found in the ends of bones in joints, especially in the shoulder, hip and knee.

Possible symptoms of Fosamax shoulder necrosis could include:

• Joint Pain in the shoulder
• Limited Mobility
• Gradual increase in pain levels
• Loss of shoulder Function

The speed at which shoulder ostenoecrosis develops can vary from one person to the next, but it is often debilitating with extreme limitations on the range of motion for the arm.
