osteoporosis meds

Any input on whether the major meds to treat osteoporosis are really beneficial? Are the Dexa Scan tests very accurate?
Thanks

Am still waiting to hear how my mother is responding. She complains of pain, and guess what's one of the side effects?

I have heard Boniva is good. What do many of your patients use?

What drug is your mum on?

Is it Actonel by chance?

I have a resident that has unexplained pain in all joints. I wonder if a connection exsists?

Most of our Residents are on Evista, followed a close second by Actonel and one on Fosmax.
