What Causes Pain In The Arms After Taking Fosamax?
I have been taking Fosamax for over a year now and I have started having pain in my arms. It is really bad at times and if I put my arms in certain positions such as trying to pull my top off with my arms crossed ( getting hold of each side). Would Fosamax cause this pain?

Hello,
It is not related to Fosamax.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
