I was on Fosamax for over 7 years and in October of 2006 I broke my left femur. in March of 2007 I broke my right femur. I now believe that the fosamax is what caused the brakes. Both times my leg just broke each time I just slipped and when I tried to catch myself my let torked a little and the leg broke. I had been having lots of pain in both legs and had been experiencing lots of weakness in the muscle of both legs I was also having pain in both knees and was having trouble walking. I have also had lots of neck and back pain. Have had MRI and could never find any thing wrong. I quit taking fosamax last June and am better but still have lots of weakness in the muscles on my legs. I have no idea how long it take for fosamax to get out of your system Will I ever be the same. I am 65 years old and I know some is just age but I know many women much older that I am that have much less problems that I have.
