Had my endocrinologist been clearer about side effects it would have made other decisions along the way easier to make. I feel like in my self advocacy process she learned more from me about the side effects than I did from her. If you have any knee joint issues prior to taking the Evenity, you can expect them to be worse for the first 6 months of the program. They ease up somewhat after that time. The majority of the bone growth occurs through month 6 as evidenced by the CQT results of L1-L2 performed prior to starting and at 3 and 6 months intervals based on my requests for the testing.
Her initial reassurances that none of her clients had reported side effects left me dubious but I did proceed with the program.
I would have been happier with a doc who relied less on drug company data from studies and more on surveys from actual clients. Perhaps I expect too much from today's physicians.
I associate growing pains with a period of rapid growth, notf normal growth. Therefore, I never experienced those pains and don't see why I should experience them now.
