Osteoporosis: Likely not osteomalacia, however a bisphosphonate should not be taken 8 years consecutively. We routinely use it for 3-5 years, then take a "drug holiday" during which time we either stop the med or change to a different one. If on bisphosphonate for too long, bones may not remodel the correctly, and atypical fractures can occur. Talk to your doc about whether you should still be on it.
