Hello, I'm new to this group and wishing everyone a happy new year!
I will start out by saying that although Evenity shots are well tolerated by most people, be cautious if you have multiple health issues or chronic illnesses like I do. Getting Evenity shots was the worst health decision I ever made. I've had a history of severe osteoporosis after getting chemo for breast cancer and my doctors were concerned. Evenity was the best option, they said, because I also have kidney disease and it won't hurt the kidneys. I also have Parkinson's disease and some other chronic illnesses. I've had two bone breaks and last year I had a hip replacement after a fall. I am highly sensitive to any medications. I received Evenity shots for just two months last Spring and began having joint pain right away and had to discontinue it. I had been working with a personal trainer and physical therapist after my hip replacement, and I would say it was completely healed by the time I got those shots. But after two months of those shots, my joints hurt and although I stopped getting them after last May, the inflammation and pain in my hip is still bothering me as if I never had physical therapy. I am sharing this because doctors don't seem to know that if you are a sensitive person, and have a lot of health issues, that adding these shots could be problematic for some people. I'm really angry about it, but I only had myself to blame. I certainly wanted to do all I could to take care of the problem. Now I just rely on exercise and am using a vibration plate, taking calcium and Vit D with K. So I'm just sharing this in case that is your experience....that you have other chronic illnesses and have had to stop getting the treatment due to bad reactions,
