is anyone start having bone mets while on actonel. My understanding is bisphosphonate prevent bone mets. I am asking this because I have consistant pain in my coccyx radiating to my lower back and left hip and in my left upper leg for about 5 weeks now. I saw my GP two weeks ago and she referred me for an MRI for lower back and left hip as she think it could be sciatica (which I never had in the past), but my appt is only in two weeks (oct 16). So I am very worry about bone mets, should I call my oncologist to let her know about my pain and request a bone scan or wait for my MRI. Is anyone had the same symptoms and turn out to be only sciatica and anyone got bone mets while on actonel.

 thanks

    Sig - it wouldn't hurt to call your Onc to keep her in the picture, and also to see if you could get tested sooner. 10 days seems like a long time to have to wait. Wishing you the best.
