Hello everyone who suffers from osteoporosis and fractures. I started reading this site in April after I was prescribed Tymlos. It was long time wait for insurance approval. During waiting time I developed horrible back pain and found out that I have a bulging disc which greatly affected my stenosis ( didn’t know I had one). Pain was so unbearable that I decided to have steroid injection. Which didn’t help a bit. Actually, made it worse. After all I found out that insurance delayed because my endocrinologist didn’t submit right paperwork.( My spine T- score -4.9 and I already have 4 fractures). Besides, he never returned my calls. So, I decided to find someone else. I did find NP who specializes in osteoporosis. So far she is great. She prescribed Evenity and insurance approved already. I suppose to have my first injection at the beginning of July. I am scared a bit because I have a lot of pain already. Especially in my back and I know that one of the side effects could be a joint pain. I am still willing to try. I appreciate any thoughts or experiences. @sunny65

I started my Evenity injections May 27, 2025. The only side effects for me are headaches and some discomfort in joints. I hope your journey is going well.
How are you feeling after you started Evenity? I was -4.4 and started Evenity injections May. Side effects were flu-like the 1st injections but the 2nd injections I had no side effects. The 3rd injections I had mild joint pain and felt tired. Hope you're doing better. How did you break your bones? I've been lucky not to have anything fractures but am curious how yours happened?
Hugs

The pain from a bulging disc must be awful. I'm so sorry to hear that you are dealing with that, and that the steroid injection didn't help. Given that it didn't work, I can't imagine you'd ever get another. That's for the best because steroids can contribute to bone loss.
With a t-score of -4.9, Evenity is a logical choice, and worth a try. I recently had my 5th set of Evenity injections and haven't had any back pain. Some of us have had pains in other places. I'm curious to know if anyone here has had back pain from Evenity.
