Fosamax My mom was recently prescribed Fosamax. She took one pill in the morning and by that evening she as in excruciating pain in her shoulders and chest. She describes it as a burning, tearing feeling that is made worse by bending down or moving quickly. She only took one pill and it was almost 4 weeks ago now and yet the pain has not subsided at all. She had a chest xray last week with normal results and is going for a bone scan tomorrow. Anyone else experiencing these symptoms and what has your diagnosis been in regard to the symptoms.
