I started bonviva in july. I broke my hip, 6 months later I broke my wrist, have osteoporois. I fell so unwell since i started this tablet chest pain , pains in my arms legs headaches hot flushes which i never had. I was a healthy 53 year old working woman , now i not able yo work pains all over and memory loss. How long does it take for this drug to go out of my system, I will never take it or anything like it again. I just want to be able to live without all these horrible side effects.
