Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 Prednisone alone can cause osteonecrosis (aka avascular necrosis). I will need both knees replaced due to this. I have severe osteoporosis as due to PBC I no longer absorb vitamin D (fat malabsorption). I cannot use Forteo due to the osteonecrosis. I am currently taking Boniva. I've not had any problems with it, just trying to remember not to eat or drink before taking it! Sandy C. Quote
