Hi Gary, sometimes think doctors tend to take a one size fits all, approach.
My doctor didn’t warn me about any of the side affects my new pills might have. Just said go get your teeth checked before you take them. I’d just finished having my teeth done a few weeks earlier so thought , ok , should be fine. Wish I had gone in hindsight.
Since taking them for only a few weeks, I ended up with such pain in my legs, I could barely walk. I happened to be in the dentist the other day with my husband and noticed a sign warning patients to tell him if they’d ever been on this drug. So I asked. Apparently he can no longer remove teeth, just basically clean and keep an eye on them for me. Basic stuff, all because of this drug.

I stopped taking it after a couple of months because of the pain, almost back to normal 2 weeks on, walking, changing doctors and looking for new options for my problem.
