Evenity worked for me: Why I chose medication for osteoporosis

Actually, I feel great! I completed a 1/2 marathon last Feb and ran in our local Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving. Yes, I still do cardio weight training, not the heavy lifting like I used to do. I was not very athletic in my teens, but began running in my 20s, then started weightlifting in my 30s and yoga in my 40s. Now in my late 60s, I try to do one hr of something every day. Some weeks are better than others, but I always get back to working out.

So I have a question...is this Evenity a lot different than Fosomax and Bonita? I have refused to take those everytime my doctor recommends them because of the horrible side effects which includes FRACTURES! I obviously haven't done my research on Evenity but I will. Thank you for sharing your experience. I will definitely check this out.....but please tell me if you know if the Evenity is a completely different type of osteoporosis treatment than those others.

I start Evenity tomorrow. Now I’m concerned with the post that says it works best for the spine. My T score on my spine is at zero (i assume thanks to my weight lifting and alendronate for three years.) My hips are -2 something. Did the T score on your hips change at all with Evenity? The surgeon wants my bones stronger before I do surgery.
Great on the half and turkey trot! My leg pain from stenosis is bad enough I’ve stopped running in June, after 35 years of running. Hard to not be a runner any longer, but 35 years is a good run, and maybe I can start again after the fusion. I’m 72.
