Anyone else get back spasms? It is on the list of side effects, despite an initial "must be a coincidence" caregiver response.
Took 3rd dose of Tymlos today, each time get wicked lower back spasms requiring heat pack and standing or walking. It subsides in about 10 minutes, but the bout with pain leaves me kinda tired. Think it will subside?
Also, feel weird/tense in the head and jaw, don't want to have to take tylenol every day for this crap.
I couldn't tolerate Evenity, so I don't have many options left. Ideas?

I had some mild spasms and lightheadedness the five or so injections on Tymlos, right after injection, that lasted for maybe 10 minutes, but they subsided after that and the remaining two years I had no issues (other than a little bit of increased belly fat). I called and the Tymlos nurse recommended laying back when doing the injection and remaining that way for 30 minutes - it seemed to help (I found if I just stayed seated for 10 minutes post injection, I was fine so didn't need the full 30 minutes). I did my injection post breakfast so I was relaxed and well hydrated, but I know many do them at bedtime.

Are you taking the full dose? Maybe dial it back. Also, maybe take it before bedtime?
