For Osteoporosis "I have severe arthritis anyway and have a lot of pain, but this was over the top. First day fine, but the next 4 days I was down with bad joint pain, back pain, chills. Not sure I am going to do it again. I have already had 3 breaks and cancer, so I don't know if that's an option for me."

For Osteolytic Bone Metastases of Solid Tumors "Been on it for about 4 years. Very little side effects. Maybe some lower back pain, but I have terrible mets to bones almost everywhere that I could hardly tell if this med adds to pain. No other problems. I have been getting it for so long that they cut it back to every three months about 2 1/2 years ago. Worried about necrosis to the jaw."
