Anyone developed pain in feet from Evenity?

Posted by rita @ritabtripp, Jul 23 8:06am

I have had 5 doses of Evenity and a couple months ago started having discomfort in my heels and balls and my feet have gotten progressively worse. My weight hasn’t changed (I’m not overweight), I wear good shoes with inserts and I have stopped all exercise that would exacerbate the pain. Initially the pain was only obvious if I was barefoot and now it hurts to walk even with my running shoes. It doesn’t feel like plantar fasciitis but I’m taping my toe and doing stretches to treat plantar fasciitis just in case. But the only thing that has really changed in my life has been starting on Evenity. Anyone else had this response to Evenity?

TO ALL THAT HAVE SIDE EFFECTS NOT LISTED IN THE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED TO YOU INITIALLY FROM THE ACTUAL DRUG COMPANY!!!!
I was strongly told to please report these to your dr and the FDA . The only way these other side effects will ever get posted in the instructions , so all would be aware , is if ENOUGH PEOPLE using a particular drug report it !!! IT WILL HAVE TO BECOME STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT.
This also goes for those recently reporting that Tymlos and Forteo are seeing an increase in their abdominal circumference. Giving them a pooch stomach.
Let’s help our community at large get all the information about these drugs and their side effects!!!

Hello, I started noticing feet pain around my 10 injection. My 12th injection was at the end of May, and I am still experiencing pain in both of my feet. I did not have feet pain before starting Evenity. Hopefully, over the course of the next few months the pain will go away. I had to be on antibiotics almost the entire time I received the injections because I could not fight off even the common cold. When I go to my specialist next month, I am going to request a half a dose of Reclast and then receive the second half in six months. I am hoping she will be willing to do this.

I agree in that we all need to report the side effects we have experienced to help others. Good luck to you all. I am so grateful for Evenity because my numbers have improved but I am even more grateful to be off of it.

I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, which could very well be likely. The onset of it was shortly after starting Evenity. Therefore, I am not sure that the drug company would consider it to be a result of their drug since plantar fasciitis is fairly common in my age group

I appreciate you sharing your experience. I had plantar fasciitis years ago and have since worn custom inserts. It doesn’t feel like plantar fasciitis but just in case, I am doing all the stretches to treat it. That hasn’t helped yet. I know Evenity can cause pain in joints, but this feels like pain in the bone of my heel and ball of my feet. It feels like u gave severely bruised them but since I didn’t do anything to cause bruising I have to think it’s a dude effect. I appreciate everyone chiming in to share their experience
