I am really interested to learn more about the benefits of Evenity. I fell and broke my hip in August 2022, the day after I turned 60. I live in BC, Canada. I learned more than six months post surgery I had osteoporosis. I then started the referral to the Endocrinologist. Who then recommended Evenity, two years post hip fracture. I then started Evenity in October 2024, due delays with the specialists office and approvals from the two insurance companies. I am experiencing several side effects, the main one being severe bloating. These are being managed with high quality Probiotic, Enzymes, Castor Oil packs and no gluten or dairy, more omegas and limiting my carbs. The specialist shared this may be an issue, and did not see this as a concern. I am looking for reports that Evenity actually builds good bone. The more I learn and the research I do, learn more about the importance of Estradiol, which I have been on since the fall of 2023, through the Hormone Doctor in the private system that I see. I continue to be confused why my MD or the specialist did not share the importance of the Estradiol. As I look at the comments others are sharing the needs for meds after Evenity. Would like to learn more, why? Feels frustrated as our medical system in Canada is struggling and who to ask the many questions I have.

sharonksummerfield, not just in Canada. Its a job to figure out these meds in the US. There is so much less-than-good and even inaccurate information held by the people we trust with our bones. A lot just isn't known; everyone is speculating. The research is getting better, so there's hope.
I have heard that the price of Forteo is low in Canada compared to the US. Do you know?
You say bloating, and I hear swelling. I think inflammation is problematic-- systemwide.

I am also curious about the quality of the bone produced by Evenity, for two reasons: 1. You must take another drug, like a bisphosphonate, after Evenity or you lose all your gains. I am curious as to why? That doesn't sound like typical bone to me. I've tried to research this on-line but can't find anything about this. 2. I've read that Evenity doesn't provide much protection against vertebral fractures which makes me wonder if taking the drug is worth the risk of the side effects. (I am in the U.S.).
