Recently, I went to a follow-up appointment about the results of a bone density scan. I have osteoporosis and this year's 360 physical checkup has reviled more bone loss in my spine and upper thighs. Seems, every time I have a physical checkup, there is always something else physically wrong with me. I had better get my affairs in order before I take a permanent leave-of-absence. Anyway, the bad news is I could suffer a fracture in my spine while simply by standing; and then, I would not be able to continue with my lifestyle, already limited due to age and other health problems. Terry, a nurse practitioner who is assigned to my physical exam, told me, bone loss is generally caused by age and lack of estrogen. She advised me to take a medicine, Alendronate Sodium, 70 MG Tab once a week and then, go in for another bone density scan during my next year physical examination. Terry went on to tell me about the side effects of taking Alendronate Sodium. Stomach pai
