Drugs that cause muscle pain

Drugs used for osteoporosis such as Fosamax and others like it (Actonel, Aredia, Boniva, Didronel, Reclast, Skelid and Zometa) have been liked with muscle pains.

The FDA has now issued information to doctors to relay to patients of the possibility of severe and sometimes incapacitating bone, joint and muscle pain. The pain may occur within days, months, or years after starting these medications.
