Evenity Side Effects

I have osteopenia and mild osteoarthritis. My Primary Care doctor recommended I start Prolia for the last few years, but my dentist was very opposed so I waited. In July I fell in my "Balance" exercise class resulting in 3 pelvic fractures. After some healing, I decided it was time for Prolia. However, after my visit with the rheumatologist she said I qualified for Evenity injections because of the fractures. I have completed 5 injections with no significant side effects, just normal soreness from any injection. After 1 year of injections she recommends Prolia.
My dentist is still opposed. I'm keeping very good dental hygiene practices hoping I will avoid any invasive dental work.

My doctors use Reclast after Evenity. Amgen makes both Evenity and Prolia so their website suggests Prolia. But if you do Prolia, you will have to do Reclast anyway to deal with the strong rebound when Prolia is stopped. My doctors don't use Prolia unless they absolutely have to because of the rebound.

I was told the exceptions might be those who cannot tolerate a bisphosphonate at all, and those who are old enough that stopping Prolia isn't an issue!
