@windyshores It has never improved and has worsened with me. I am at number 10, and I just don't think I can do any more.

@miznancy Just stop. A high percentage of the density improvements with Evenity will have been accomplished by month 10. That is reasonably clear from studies. If you are suffering I would say stop. I had great benefits from Evenity and no side effects worth even mentioning but unfortunately that is not your situation.
Note: I had a DXA after 10 shots and then another DXA after 12 shots and I got no further improvements. I had 30% increase in my spine by 10 months. That's just one case and there are no studies I know of where they did a DXA each month but I think it's a good bet you have gotten most of the benefit at 10 shots that you would have at 12. Even if you would keep making small improvements that needs to be weighed against the harmful effects you are having.
Do remember you need a follow up med to keep whatever gains you have gotten.

I saw my doctor and showed her how I was walking and told her that the pain was unbearable.
She said to stop Evenity. It has been 3 weeks since my last injection and I still can't walk and my pain is killing me.
