Comment:
I have used Fosteum for 3 months. Today I went back to the Dr that prescribed it. I have had more than normal breast tenderness, swollen breast, very uncomfortable to the point that even a bra hurt to be on and shooting pains in my legs. My T score was 1.1 The Dr said to stop Fosteum right away and in 30 days my symptoms should go away. I hope so.

I have Osteopenia. I have only taken it for a month. Too early to tell if it's effective. Side effects are constipation and smelly urine.

Comment:
Rx gave me same side effects as I experienced being on various types/doses of the Pill and Premarin. The shooting pains in my legs went away within a week of stopping Fosteum. Will never know if it helped with slowing bone loss.
