Is Risedronate The Right Medication For The Burning Sensation In My Spine?
I m wondering if I should take Risedronate? I have arthritis and feel burning in my spine and it keeps me awake at night. I have burning and lots of pain in my wrists, elbows,shoulders, knees and ankles and hips. I can barely make it up the stairs my knees are so weak. I m wondering if I should take Risedronate? My neighbor takes it for her arthritis.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Risedronate is given for osteoporosis.And taking this medication for long term causes a side effect breaking of long bones.So it should be given with regular follow up with your doctor.It is better to consult an orthopedician and discuss that.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
