| Hi i'm stephen aged 40. Have had oesteoporosis since i was 28. This was caused by taking steroids to control ulcerative colitis since i was 21. I was on steroids most of that time and i developed oesteoporosis. The steroids were stopped when i had the operation to cure the colitis. I have been taking fosamax and then alendrondric acid weekly for the last 12 years. I was shocked to find on my last visit to the dentist that they cannot exract teeth because i am on alendronic acid incase i have oesteonecrosis of the jaw. My life has been ruined by taking tablets. I have multiple fractures in my spine and am about 5 inches shorter. Do i have a case for compensation.
