Tymlos side effects

@trixie
I would highly recommend asking for some labs to be done to make certain your parathyroid gland is functioning properly and your calcium levels are not too high. Drinking lots of water; staying hydrated is always a plus! Hope your symptoms subside soon.

I’m sorry to hear you have bad joint pain. Have you reported it to your endocrinologist? If so, what did s/he say?

I have what seems to be new joint pain in my knees, but I’m not sure if Tymlos is the culprit! It’s hard to sort it all out, unfortunately.

I have joint pain in my knees as well which is new . It makes me feel like I 've aged a lot since starting Tymlos. It's bothersome using stairs and sometimes at night my knees hurt so much I can't sleep. Then I have to get up and take some motrin.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

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 am grateful to say I’ve been in Tymlos 8 months now and don’t notice any side effects other than some belly fat inches around my waist.

No joint pains.

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

Definitely going to try later in the day and dialing back the dose. Thanks.

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.
