← Return to Evenity and side effects: What helps joint and muscle pain?

After my first set of Evenity injections in January, I started posting monthly about the side-effects I had experienced. They've been so minor that I stopped commenting after the third. I had exhaustion that started about a week after that one, then everything returned to normal.

Because people are more likely to share negative experiences than positive ones, I feel like it could be reassuring to continue my updates even when everything's going well. I'll bring things up-to-date.

My fourth set of injections was in April. The technique that the nurse used was different. She injected slowly. It was more painful than I experienced with the previous three, and that day the injection sites were very tender. I even had a burning sensation under the skin. It was more annoying than it was painful. I was trying to do focused work and it was distracting me.

I had my fifth set done by a different nurse last week. She's a no-nonsense, just get it done kind of person, so she did it fast. Afterward there wasn't much tenderness, and no burning at all though one injection site bruised.

An interesting thing that may, or may not be related, is a new occasional tingling nerve sensation (not really painful) in my ankles. Has anyone else had that anywhere on their body?

I may have jinxed myself. I went for a long walk after posting that I had tingling in my ankles. After coming home, I suddenly got a sharp pain on one side. Now I can't walk on it. I don't know if this is in any way related to my Evenity treatment. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes! I have had two sets of injections and after my last one I started getting random tingly feelings in my lower jaw and around my ear. I know my provider will say it’s not related because she already told me that Evinity has no side effects (such as muscle pain, exhaustion, or neck. Anyone else had these electric sensations?

Halfway through the treatment!!! Nearly two weeks ago, I had my sixth set of injections, and they were the easiest yet. There was only a tiny bit of tenderness afterward. A different nurse gave them to me, so maybe that was because of her technique. I'm feeling great.
On Tuesday, I get my BTMs tested again. It will be interesting to compare them to what they were three months ago.
