Evenity and side effects: What helps joint and muscle pain?

@pami I had to cancel my appointment tomorrow because my father-in-law, who is 94, is in the last stages of life and so our family is all together with him until he passes. I'll report once I get in for my appointment.
Did you have any other side effects other than the rashes and sore arms?

I just had my 8th shots yesterday. After the nurse gave me my shots, I had the usual swelling (a lump) and a little tenderness in the area where I got the shots. I massaged the area (which I never did before). This morning I woke with no pain in right arm and just a little tenderness in the left.
I am sorry to hear about your father in law. It sounds like he has lived and life.

I just started Evenity last August. I had neck pain after my first and second dose. It seems to appear about two weeks after each injection. I just took Aleve and after a day or two the pain subsided. I hope this helps.

90 ounces of water would have me peeing all day long! 😂 I will be receiving my first Evenity shots on Wednesday and I’m a bit nervous after reading some of the side effects people are experiencing. I was nervous about Tymlos but my side effects were pretty minimal and I had really good gains in my spine. I’m going to take ur advice and overdose on water beginning today. Someone mentioned alternating Motrin and Tylenol for a few days but I’ll decide on that. At about my 18th month in Tymlos I began having pain in my ankles and feet which hampered my exercise program a bit and though I called the manufacturer to report it they said that wasn’t a side effect that had ever been mentioned. I had an MRI and there was a bit of narrowing between joints but 2 weeks after completing Tymlos, the pain stopped and hasn’t returned. I’m really hoping for an easy time with Evenity.

@dooshie I guess this comment is too late to help with your first injection but I'll post it anyway.
I think reactions to Evenity are getting over expressed somehow in this group or elsewhere. The immediate reactions are often mild to non-existent. I'm not discounting anyone who has some serious reactions but in general it's pretty mild. My 12 months of injections were without any side effects worth mentioning. I say it that way because I see some listing all their side effects and it may make it seem more serious than it was. Yes, I had a stinging sensation (for 2-5 seconds) once or twice out of 24 injections. Two or three times there was a bit of puffiness at the injection site for two or three hours. Once there was a bruise. Sometimes I got stimulated for a few hours. I say good grief that is all nothing. That's pretty normal for sticking a needle in your skin and injecting something into it. I could have as much reaction to injections of water I suspect.
Again to anyone who has a serious reaction I'm not denying your experience.

BTW, I see people saying they always do all these different meds and techniques to prevent reactions and that because of that they never have reactions. My response is that with Evenity you likely would have had no reactions without those tricks.
So to my mind there is no reason to be taking Tylenol or Claritin or antihistamines or any of the things folks do for Reclast.
@pami I do see in your comment that you figured out ways to stop the reactions you were having and that's great.
In my case I would be just as likely if not more likely to have an unpleasant reaction to Tylenol or Claritin etc as I am to Evenity. Seriously!
