A member asked:

Are the side effects of osteoporosis medication and being miserable everyday worth it? isn't the treatment sometimes worse than the medical condition?

Osteo meds: There are several different medications that could be appropriate, some with fewer side effects. The choice of treatment depends on your risk factors and results of your bone density test (severity of bone thinning). The alternative, a broken bone, is no fun either.
