    No, but my sister did and had to get off AA. She did not give me much detail and only told me months after she had stopped.

    What are your tscores? You need to know this to help make an informed decision.

    Some people have been prescribed this drug with osteopenia only.

    I have been taking AA since December 2016 and have experienced muscle aches after taking it for a few months. The pain was not that bad, but my body always felt sore, like I did a lot of exercise, but I didn't. I stopped taking AA for 3 weeks now and I don't feel any body aches. Did you continue taking AA or did you change medications?

      Hi

      I stopped taking AA. The nurse has given me a year to try to sort it out myself with supplements and diet.

      I will have another Dexa scan to check whether the oesteoporosis is stable or not. Then have to see wat

      possibilties there are, maybe another sort of medication, but I will never take the AA again.

      Let me know how you get on.  Good luck
