Dear @windyshores , thank you for replying. The first 2 shots of Evenity were ok. My back pain never left me, but was somewhat manageable with Tramadol. However, after 3rd shot my back pain was so bad that I ended in emergency room . After 4th - last week my lower back pain increased dramatically again. I talk with endocrinologist and she wants me to keep pushing through because she seen improvement in CTX test.
Also she told me that she don’t mind to switch me to Tymlos. I am so confused because I don’t know if on Tymlos I still have this severe back pain. You’ve mentioned that your back pain improved after 3 months. My question is : did you feel pain lessened when you started Tymlos? Or just in general after 3 months. My back pain is so severe for 6 months now and doesn’t stop even at night . I still make myself go for a short walks and trying not to give up. I never been in more pain in my life. My pain doctor offered to try to do nerve ablation. So, I agreed because I don’t know what else to do. My doctor increased dose of Tramadol and even this don’t give me much relief.Should I still try to stay on Evenity for another 2 months or try to switch to Tymlos at least for one year. My DXA test showed severe osteoporosis That was a year ago. I am going for another one shortly and see if I have any improvement after 4 shots of Evenity. Thank you for any advice.

Evenity is more anti-resorptive in the second half. I don't know the effectiveness of Tymlos after 4 months of Reclast but I was told Tymlos is especially good for healing fractures so if you can switch, and if your doctor says it will be effective, I would consider it. My fracture pain lessened more on Tymlos than any other medication.
