Any success stories about Evenity to share with fearful me?

I thought I would lobby to get Evenity for myself instead of the Reclast my endocrinologist recommends. However, after you mentioned the knee issues, I might have to rethink about my position. I get joint pain (not enough to prevent me from golfing and walking a lot), but I wouldn’t want it to get any worse than now. This is the reason I love to read this blog; it is informative, and as you mentioned, it’s real life issues, not statistics based on a trial program.

I don't know that there is any evidence that Reclast is safer than Evenity for one's knees or much of anything else. Maybe heart issues? If you thoroughly check out Reclast you will find that some people have severe life altering issues that do not go away. What's unknown is what percentage of those taking Reclast or Evenity have significant long lasting problems due to taking them. Myself I'm much more afraid of Reclast than Evenity. Of course I've already done a year of Evenity with great success and no side effects worth mentioning. After Evenity you still have to take something to hold onto the gains you get from Evenity. And many then take Reclast. If one follows that route they will have likely gained significant bone from Evenity and be much further ahead in the game than if they had just started with Reclast.

Much depends on how negative your T score is.
If you need to build bone Evenity or Tymlos is recommended before reclast.
Reclast looks in the gains after completion of either one.
Reclast by itself like prolia prevents existing bone from breaking down further.
Just like the other two reclast has side effects as well. Will let you know after the infusion of reclast in a few weeks what my experience is with side effects.
