Yes. I had my third shot last week and am awakened every night with pain in my knees, hips, and elbows and am very stiff on getting up. I have not been getting headaches, though.

I am hoping that it will dissipate as time goes on. I really need this treatment so I will continue even with this side effect. It can be challenging, though. I try to stay hydrated and active although I had to move my exercise workout from first thing in the morning to a bit later in the day due to the discomfort.

I am 64 and have been on osteoporosis meds for 7 years (Fosamax, Tymlos, Forteo). I will likely do Reclast after the Evenity. I am unwilling to go on Prolia at my age even though the doctor suggested it as her preferred option after Evenity. Perhaps when I am older.

Is there a reason you don’t want to go on Prolia? I’ve had that suggested for me.

Sorry you are experiencing the joint pain. I see the dr next Tuesday. I know that joint pain is the most common side effect. Very hard though to be woken up by this intense knee and other joint pain. Also the insomnia doesn’t help!
This is the first osteoporosis med I’ve been on. So yes, pushing through! Three down, 9 to go. I set appointments through the end of the year to have them scheduled. Makes it easier to check schedule and any potential travel.
I am anxious to see results of next scan in 2 months!
