My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis

I may have misunderstood the doctor. We were discussing my compression fractures (which have healed) and my increasing and pretty constant back tightness and pain. He said it was due to the arthritis in my spine and I guess I assumed they were connected.
Do you know how long it took the pain from Evenity lasted? It did start to increase about 2 weeks after my first injections in June and has increased until now.

I don't know how long pain lasts from Evenity. It is so new and docs don't seem to know either. Maybe there are studies online-?

I don't think spinal fractures "heal" though docs use that term. They stabilize but the structural changes remain. I have a lot of back pain and tightness, much of it from muscle spasms caused by the fracture and shortening of the spine.

A few days ago I lifted three bowls at once onto a shelf above my head and that kind of mistake- stupid me- can cause a couple of weeks of worse pain. If I stay in bed with pillows for a few days, it helps after I do something unwise.
ps I also have some arthritis 🙂
