Hello
I have studied your case,
Yes you can start these medications but be aware of side effects also.
Side effect common with Bisphosphonates [gemcal kit] include,
Fever and flu like symptoms are more common when you have the bisphosphonate and taking paracetemol can help
Changes in your bowel movements (constipation or diarrhoea) that usually only last for a few days – it is important to drink plenty of fluids (6 to 8 glasses a day)
Irritation of the food pipe (oesophagus) can be a side effect of taking bisphosphonate tablets.
For canal stenosis – epidural injection may help for long term pain relief.
