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.

I do have increasing back pain which started about 2 weeks after my first Evenity shot. I has become so bad I have started taking tramadol occasionally. I finally stopped after my 11th injection hoping the pain would subside. It's been 5 weeks and still have pain. It's located mid back on the left side right where I had compression fractures. My DEXA is in 2 weeks and I hope I see improvement anyway. Then I have to decide between Fosomax and Reclast, but having read about the side effects from Reclast on this forum, I'm leaning towards Fosomax. Making the decision is so difficult.

Thank you so much for responding to me. The pain from bulging disc is very extreme. It has been almost three months now.No more steroid shots for me. Started new therapy. Only I can hope it will ease the pain a bit. It’s very encouraging to hear that you had 5 injections without back pain. Did you had any other side effects? My first is coming soon. I am anxious but I know that I need it.
