I'm also in the early stages of osteopenia and my previous PCP started me on Fosamax early last year; a weekly oral dose of 70mg. It really made me ill and I had EXTREME muscle aches, so after a month I stopped, and we talked about maybe trying it at a later date, and at a reduced dosage of 35mg, which the studies had shown was adequate for maintaining bone density. Then, I started seeing the reports of the bisphosphonate/osteonecosis connection and will have to discuss this whole thing with my onc(who is now my PCP as I changed to his office for continuity of care after my third recurrence).
