Lawsuit Filed Over Bone Fracture From Nexium and Prilosec

• CarolineJanuary 16, 2020 at 9:20 pm

  I have been taking prescription medication since i was diagnose with acid reflux before the the year 2000. I have had several bone fractures. I also have been diagnose with bone density. I never thought taking acid reflux medication was associated with the acid reflux medication. I never saw it as a side effect until last month when i picked up my prescription.

I have never had a problem with heartburn until I started taking Nexium. when I let prescription run out I had heartburn every day until prescription was refilled. as of march 2014 have been going to doctor for severe pain in left elbow. while waiting for second appointment one of my ribs broke while working on a car.[Show More]Have been taking Nexium for little over a year.

I had a hip decompression in June 2011 but unfortunately it didn't work so now next plan is hip replacement. Oh I never said i'm only 25...

  I have taken prescription strength Prilosec and Nexium for over 15 years, I recently became disabled due to severe pain in all my joints, and I have bone problems in my neck and back. I have severe migrains, dizzyness and memory loss. Im curious if Im the only one this is happening to. I was an athlete and always was active until the past 10 years .

  my ankle is fractured

• christalOctober 3, 2011 at 6:50 pm

  I too have suffered severe ankle fracture after taking Nexium for a year. All I did was stand up from sitting on the couch and my ankle broke in half. The Dr. Said that my bones were soft and brittle. I have never had a bone fracture or break in my life. I would be interested in speaking to an attorney.

• darleanJuly 30, 2011 at 11:28 pm

  I myself have been taking Nexium for some years now and i have bone problems.I was told by my doctor that my bones starting to become a problem and if I did no excerise that it will start to give lots of problems as in starting to break.
