How Can Hunched Back Be Straightened?

I am an 87 year old women and good physical condition. I have always avoided taking any pills for osteoporosis (which I have), instead I take 2,000 of Vitamin D every day. During my last visit, my doctor told me that I have developed the begining of a hunched back . He recommended taking Alendronate sodium 70 mg tab. When I read all the possible side affects of this medication, it scares me! What should I do?
