Yes, they were difficult, but each got progressively worse.

I have commented earlier. I did 11 months of Evenity with injections in my arms. Injections were a bit painful but tolerable and arms felt fine after a couple of day. However, my bigger concern was the muscle and bone pain that I never had before the injections. I thought I had ruined my health as it was painful to bend down, walk, aching all over all the tine, I also was not believable to my provider when I shared concerns but she attributed it to anxiety, etc. I do think she had rethought this as so many more are communicating about this issue. She is very thorough so I do trust her. I am healthy and active and run, walk, ski, mountain bike, etc. I could barely put on a pair of yoga pants after 6-7 months of injections. The good news is I stuck it out for 11 months and had amazing gains in my spine, -3.8 to -2.1. Hip and other site minor increases but they weren't as bad so took me out of osteoporosis zone. That was two years ago and it took me probably 6-7 months after no injections to be rid of the pain. Now, I am due for DEXA this month and have been on Actonel. Was on Fosomax following Evenity and that increased pain in muscles and bone so switch to Actonel and I have been fine. Will hopefully have decent numbers with DEXA this month. I do recommend Great Bones by Keith McCormick.
