This is really Ryan's rant, but he's gotten me thinking about it so much... here you go.
All my ladies know that you are NEVER EVER to get the injected bisphosphonates (sp) (for bone density) and that you should only take boniva or fosomax for a few years, right? Well now you do. The problem comes in when the bone building (good) properties are outweighed by the inability to repair (bad) problems.
This really comes in to play for the jaw (hence Ryan's interest) and since the blood supply isn't very good. When you've been taking the pills for a long time or as soon as your first injection, you can have complications with your dental work. (Scare tactic time...) You can actually have your jaw bones die and your face fall off!!! Well, probably not that severe, but it could happen.
See, I DO need a blog!
