I just received my first set of Evenity injections. They were given in the back of my upper arms. The first injection was the most painful injection I have ever received and I've had biopsy injections for breast cancer, abdominal Lovenox injections, heparin Etc. The first arm was excruciating. I was actually screaming, trying to pull away and it took forever. It was so painful we waited a bit for the second arm and that wasn't nearly as bad and took half of the time. I suspect the Evenity hadn't sat out at all because the medical representative that did the injections told me when I came into the room that she needed to go get approval from the doctor to release the medication so I suspect it came out of refrigeration just before being injected. I appreciate the comments and insight here, based on what I've read I'm going to insist that the medication has sat out for at least 30 minutes before administered next month. I experienced absolutely no sight pain after the fact in either arm, so for that I'm grateful. Here's hoping next month is a better experience! Sending wishes for good health to all of you!

I’m sorry your first injection was so painful. I’ve had four now and the amount of pain I’ve had during the injection has varied. The first stung a bit, the second was excruciating, the third was almost completely painless, and the fourth was painful only in one arm. I am not sure how long the medication sat out during the first two but I know it was out for at least fifteen minutes during the last two.

The third injection occurred at the end of an interview with the doctor so I suspect it had been out the longest. I agree with you that the temperature of the medication may be factor in how painful the injection is.
