Up until this point I would have described myself as pretty fit and healthy, with a fairly good diet and lots of exercise.

My first medication was Alendronic Acid and Adcal, I managed with this for around 6 months and then started to have a constant acidic feeling in my stomach.  I stopped for a bit but was persuaded by my doctor to try an alternative and have been using Actonel for the past few months.  Everything seemed okay at first however I am now experiencing aches in my elbows, wrists and hands and top of my neck/back which are slowly getting worse!  It was first described as tennis elbow and was only in my right arm, however the usual symptoms of tennis elbow have disappeared and I am struggling to believe that's what I now have in both my arms. 

It would be great to hear if any one has experienced similar pain, I am becoming more convinced it has something to do with the medication and will be following up with my doctor next week.

At this moment in time I really feel inclined to stop taking any medication if this is how I'm going to be feeling. I'm not due to have another scan until June 2011 as was told I should wait for 2 years from the first scan, my results were -2.8 in my spine, with Osteopenia in my hips, I can't remember the figures!
