: My mom (who is 57) was recently diagnosed with Osteoporosis. Her doctor prescribed Fosamax as the most effective treatment currently available. But since she has begun taking Fosamax, she has been experiencing occasional back spasms that are very crippling. She never had a problem of this kind before taking Fosamax so she strongly suspects a connection. She is wondering if anyone else taking Fosamax has had similar problems? Thanks!

On my third day of taking fosamax, I developed soreness in a left lower back muscle
which I have never experienced in any muscle before. I, too, am thinking that fosamax
may be the cause. Today, I did not take the medication and the internal soreness is
still there. I will tell one of my doctors tomorrow.
