Regarding Risedronate 150mg 1/mo pill Osteo patients: I took this pill for 3 1/2 yrs as directed. Then I insisted I get script for DEXA scan- with bad results… I had nothing but severe bone loss. I began Evenity 4 months ago and noticed achy joints and fluish symptoms after injections (injection site pain too). I’ve talked to Dr asking for “bone marker” tests with answer of “no, just finish the year with Evenity and we will scan then!”
I am pushing through the symptoms, hoping that my bones are getting stronger, but hate feeling bad everyday and all night long. 🙁
