I have developed severe muscle pain and bone pain in the posterior right back of my body with spacticity, a condition called dystonia which I believe was brought on by Actonel. I spend many days of the week unable to do much and then when I am feeling better and think I can have a normal day, I spend it that way. Well, that puts me into a few days of suffering. I do not want to spend my life on pain medication which is where you end up when the pain occurs. I registered a telephone complaint re Actonel with the FDA and encourage all women who are experiencing bad side effects to do the same. Remember, only a squeaky wheel gets fixed. I cannot even work. My right back/shoulder blade area hurts so badly. Even with meds, there's no fix. Biphosphonates need to be taken off the market and re-evaluated by the FDA.
