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?

I just read this part of your post. I did have sharp pains in the top side of my foot randomly. Once it happened while just walking through a store and I wondered how I was going to walk out. I’m in good shape so this was odd. I have been able to sort of walk it off when it happens. It doesn’t last long but it is painful. Never had these things happen prior to Evenity/Fosomax/Actonel. I don’t think it is coincidence. In last two years since using these drugs I always have some level of muscle/joint aches or pain. I’m just getting used to it as it’s not so painful with bisphosphonate. .

hopefullibrarian, quite helpful and thoughtful.
Because low blood calcium can cause tingling and pain in the hands or feet, Because Evenity can cause low blood calcium, you might want serum labs. Easier still to add calcium. I'd want to know, (and would have a foot x-ray) but would probably want to get rid of the pain right away. I hope it is just calcium.
"Evenity may also cause muscle spasms, neck pain, and burning or tingling (usually in the hands and feet)." https://www.healthline.com/health/drugs/evenity-side-effects--not my favorite source.
