There are a few injuries related to the use of the pharmaceutical Fosamax. The first injury is Esophageal Cancer. Esophageal Cancer is a type of cancer that happens in the esophagus. This is the hollow tube that connects the throat with the stomach. It is the place where the food travels down to the stomach so it can be digested. There have been twenty three cases of the cancer in the United States and thirty one cases in Japan and Europe.

The second injury is jaw bone injuries. The injuries in the jaw bone is known as Osteonecrosis or better known as dead jaw. It is when the bones in the jaw are not getting the blood that they need to work properly. This means that the bone tissue can die or the bone can even collapse over a period of time. The symptoms of dead jaw are pain or numbness in the jaw area; lose of teeth, infection in the jaw area, and removal of the jaw bone.

The third injury is the femur fractures. The femur fractures can happen because the bones get really weak. The medicine is supposed to make the bones stronger but they seem to have the opposite affect. These fractures can lead to even more major injuries, like a broken pelvis, if someone falls and hurts themselves.

The fourth injury is a heart condition. The heart condition is atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat when the two upper chambers of the heart do not work properly. This is commonly known to happen in women more than men.

These are just some of the injuries that are associated with people who took the drug Fosamax. If you have any of these symptoms and have taken the drug, please contact a personal injury lawyer so you can get rewarded for your struggles.
