Am 47 y/o male have been taking 10mg since June 30, 2008. Over last couple of weeks have had bouts of severe leg pain, not cramps but just achy. Also have lower back pain especially in morning when waking. Problem is i have chronic back pain so hard to distinguish between the two but it just feels different. Also bouts of fatigue. Called my doctor and was told that the aches in legs not a problem because the side effect is cramping not soreness. I don't buy that.

I have had all the effects you say and I did have severe leg pain, achy, and also the cramps 2. My back has been hurting but not this bad...I took myself off of it. I think it is better to take vitamins, eat more calcium rich foods, exercise to prevent further bone loss. No more for me. I'd rather take my chances.

God Bless.

If your doctor does not believe you, start looking for a new doc.
