Alendronic Acid and very achey legs and hips

I've been taking Alendronic Acid and Calcichew for a few months, and I too have very achey hips (and sometimes legs) first thing in the morning when I get up. Also I have been constipated! I hadn't linked them to the drugs, just to getting older, but maybe...
It will be interesting to see what people post.

Well, I'm waiting for a scan and was worried that I might need to take that medication.

HelterSkelter1 A couple of people I know have been put on new injections which seem to be having positive results without side effects. Perhaps you could ask your GP about them.

Thanks Calendargirl. Thats interesting. Hopefully I will get some more replies.

I took alendronic acid for several years until I was told not to after a bone scan. Never suffered from achey legs with it.

I also take Adcal, certainly never makes me constipated. I actually look forward to my two tablets a day, either lemon or tutti fruity, whichever I am given.

I would never describe them as awful, more like sweets.
