@hammondp2 You may already know this but the first bone building benefits are in the first 6 months. I had somewhat debilitating muscle/bone pain after 6-7 months but kept going for 11 months. I sometimes wish I had quit around 8 months but all pain started to go away after ending Evenity but it took several months. I was taking it for bone building so could have stopped earlier maybe and taken something to lock in gains then. I didn't have any pain or mobility issues before taking Evenity but while on it thought I had ruined my health! It was anxiety producing for sure and I was told what I was experiencing was unrelated to Evenity until I found info at this website. Not everyone experiences this adverse reaction. Thank God that I am back to "normal" now and keeping up with risedronate sodium, diet and exercise to do the best I can. Hope it goes well for you!

I totally believe the side effects we are experiencing is from Evenity.
Glad you are feeling better.
I did not know that the bone building was the first 6 months.

I cancelled my appointment for my 10th shots because of debilitating joint and bone pain. My last shots (9th) were approximately 5 weeks ago. I still do not have any relief, I am in constant pain, late night and morning are the worst. I do have arthritis but my orthopedic doctor told me it is not bad enough to cause the extreme pain I am experiencing. I had EMG/NCV tests yesterday and was told there is no damage to my nerves or muscles other than slight neuropathy in my feet. At night and in the morning I am using a walker. I can't drive because of leg pain. After the 9th shots I developed arm, shoulder, and lower back pain. I too was repeatedly told that the pain I was experiencing was not due to Evenity. One of the infusion nurses told me my bone pain was a good sign - "that means it's working" I hope my pain diminishes over time because my health, at this point, is in shambles.

@lauratys
I am glad you feel back to normal. So did you stop after your 11th injection?
Did you have so much pain that you couldn't do anything.
The pain is so bad and it is constant. Not sure if it works. Between the price of this drug and the pain that I have to endure, I certainly hope it makes a big healthy difference.
I am trying not to quit. I am going to see my heart doctor. He is trying to help me figure out why I have so much pain. My endocrinologist that prescribed Evenity is not helping me. Our doctors really need to try Evenity before they prescribe this drug. You have to try this medicine and experience the pain before they get a kickback and ruin our life.
