Hi, I had my fifth injection of Evenity 2 weeks ago. I had a few side effects initially... burning in my spine, some tiredness and some joint pain. However those side effects seem to have decreased or gone. I also started taking magnesium which may be helping with the joint pain. I have had a number of fractures in my Thoracic and it seemed to me that the shots affected that area with burning after about 10-14 days of having the shot for about a day or two.
I take the shots in the belly and only have a slight bit of tenderness for a couple of hours. At this stage, I would say the side effects have leveled off.
Also, I will say that I was very hungry the first couple of months on Evenity which is unusual for me but that has also leveled off. I see now that weight gain has been included as one of the side effects (which was not there when I started the medication).
Hopefully this helps.

I appreciate all information and experience. I wish something makes me hungry. I dropped a lot of weight in one year and I don’t mind to get it back.

bjgrace, Thank you for sharing that your were "...very hungry the first couple of months on Evenity which is unusual for me." and "...weight gain has been included as one of the side effects (which was not there when I started the medication)." I'm glad they added it to the list. when I told my endocrinologist about the hunger, she gave the typical response that it's not one of the Evenity side effects--and she's one of the better doctors for OP.
I meet with her in a couple of weeks, and will be delighted to share the now "fact" that it is indeed a side effect. 🙂
