Older patient comes to you with bone pain, Visual inspection may reveal bony deformities, such as an enlarged skull, spinal kyphosis, and bowing of the long bones of the extremities. Localized pain and tenderness may be elicited with manual palpation. Labs: elevated alk phos. What is this common disease and drug Rx?
