I just realized this morning after being on generic Boniva for 8 months that my problems I am experiencing may be attached to this drug. I have had increased joint and muscle pain through these last months and in the last 2 months, severe hip and thigh pain. I am 61 years old and a former ballerina. I have been doing yoga at least 2 times a week for 40 years and 2 aerobic workouts twice a week too. I also play golf 3 times a week. VERY ACTIVE!! I have felt like I am 100 years old for the last 2 months feeling extremely arthritic plus hip issue. I will IMMEDIATELY stop this medication for at least 3 months as an experiment and report to my doctor.

I took the generic version of Bonita. I got severe side effects. (severe chills, frozen hands, skin pain, body aches, unable to stand or walk, pain in the eyes when moving eyes up or down and a slight fever) This is ridiculous. I've been living on Tylenol for days. It's been 6 days and I'm still having aches and pains and eye pains. Thank God not as severe as day 1 & 2. I'm never taking this again. I spoke to my doctor and she agrees I won't take it again.

Took pill #1 yesterday. Diarrhea started within 30 minutes. Diarrhea by far worse today. Will be calling my doctor tomorrow for an alternative. Wondering if the 1x monthly pill is just too much for my small frame to handle. I'm certainly not going to spend 2 days in the restroom each month!

Took once a month dose yesterday morning. No symptoms until I went to bed. I woke up with chest pain and chills it describes as common side effect. But the pain was pretty bad, it hurt even when I just breath. I had difficulty to move my body. I had to take pain killer. Called my doctor, he suggested to see how it goes and try one more time next month to see if I still have side effects. It has been 48 hours since I took medication, I am still in pain but it's getting better. Hope this goes away soon.

I have been taking ibandronate for some time now, and it works well for my muscles. I had a bone density scan last year. My doctor told me that my medication was no longer working, she wanted to switch me to Prolia. I had the injection. It created such muscle pain I did not have another but had to wait 6 more months to go back on Ibandronate. I find that although it may not be helping my bones it helps my back muscles. I have extreme muscle fatigue at the end of the cycle. It is just debilitating. So this month, I took my dose 5 days early. This seems to have helped. At least I can stand up straight.

I don't care if this helps bone mass. I am a mess! Month 1 felt like I was hit by a truck. Horrible flu like all over excruciating pain. Month 2 and 3 better. This month went to the hospital with disfiguring facial and neck swelling. Was given an epi pen in case of suffocation !!! Never again.

I just realized this morning after being on generic Boniva for 8 months that my problems I am experiencing may be attached to this drug. I have had increased joint and muscle pain through these last months and in the last 2 months, severe hip and thigh pain. I am 61 years old and a former ballerina. I have been doing yoga at least 2 times a week for 40 years and 2 aerobic workouts twice a week too. I also play golf 3 times a week. VERY ACTIVE!! I have felt like I am 100 years old for the last 2 months feeling extremely arthritic plus hip issue. I will IMMEDIATELY stop this medication for at least 3 months as an experiment and report to my doctor.
