Evenity is a 12 month course of injections, 2 each month. I experienced the muscle/joint aches pretty severely by month 8 or so. I stopped at month 11 and am on Actonel and doing well. I have posted previously about adverse reactions on this site. Hope this helps! Evenity improved my bone density most significantly in my spine and that was the worst site. Went from -3.8 to -2.1. Took all three test spots out of osteoporosis range. It did feel like I had bad arthritis, which I don't but after 6 months it went away for the most part. I think a bit of aching I have now may be from Actonel but easily tolerated and not debilitating like last months of Evenity. I don't regret doing it but at the time when I was so uncomfortably I thought I had made a terrible mistake. Best to you!

Laura- Thank you for this great explanation.

Hi, I am six months into the Evenity injections and have terrible joint and muscle pain. The pain is a seven on a 1 to 10 scale, mostly in my groin and knees. The bone pain started after the 4th injections. I had my last injections twelve days ago and still have no relief. I left a message for my doctor and received a call back from an assistant who told me my pain is not from the shots. To be fair the message I left stated the pain was from my groin area to my ankles. I left that message because although the worst areas are the knees in the groin, I have pain in my thighs and the lower portion of my legs. I’m considering stopping the shots even though I don’t want to do that because I have severe Osteo. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'll completed my 12th injection of Evenity July, 2024 . Afterwards Actonel or Fosamax was recommended.
Presently past my 8th injection, I almost stopped Evenity because I felt so uncomfortable, but I plan to continue on course. Nutrition and appropriate exercises are important too.
Also the balance of calm and fear. Not to be fearful that I'll get another fracture due to my active lifestyle. I am careful, but accidents do happen. Don't want to give up cross country skiing and hiking. Just need to find the best outdoor conditions. Thank you for your comments and time.
