Elaine,
For biophosphonates such as Boniva, Actenol, and Fosomax, it is extremely rare to experience osteonecrosis of the jaw. It is more of a risk for Zometa which is an IV biophosphanate.
I am glad to hear your bones are getting stronger. I hope mine are. I am working hard at it with my exercise in addition to the Fosomax.
