Hi, I went on Actonel after trying Fosomax which brought back pain/aches/stiffness that I had after 6 months on Evenity. I completed 11 months of Evenity but feel like I had ruined my mobility. I'm in late 60s. Had never broken a bone or had any physical limitations or taken meds but -3.8 spine which was a problem before Evenity. Went to -2.1 which is great. Much smaller gains in other two sites but brought me out of osteoporosis range. I don't have a DEXA until Fall 2025 but doing the Actonel, always exercise and am trying to do more weight bearing/strengthening as I prefer cardio! Still have muscles aches I've never had prior to meds.

@lauratys that is an amazing gain in spine! How long ago did you finish Evenity? McCormick, author of "Great Bones," told me that 40% of his patients have joint pain on Evenity. Makes sense when you read about sclerostin. The pain may improve: let us know!

But those gains, wow!

How long do you plan on staying on Actonel? Can you take a drug holiday after a year or two and try holistic approaches?

So sorry to hear about your mobility. Did you regain it after completing evenity?
