Do your side effects last all day or are they only for a little while after doing the injection. Does it affect your bladder as well as if I took it in bed I’m stuck there so the bladder issues are a big thing for me. I’m really starting to think it’s not worth starting this treatment as every day my pain is bad so I don’t need anything else on top of this as it’s affecting me mentally now and becoming very depressed. Obviously I don’t want another fracture but I also don’t want to suffer horrible side effects either.

I just started Tymlos 15 days ago, after doing research on most of the available osteoporosis meds. All of the meds have some side effects, including jaw bone necrosis for Fosomax and Prolia, and stroke or cardio potential with Evenity. Tymlos makes me a bit lightheaded after I inject but it doesn't last for long. It also seems to cause some increased sensitivity to body areas that already have problems. E.g., I have neuropathy in my toes, so now the toes are a bit sore where previously just numb. My hands are sore, especially my thumbs which was a prior symptom but since using Tymlos a bit more sore. Could be from working out with 2 lb hand weights. Meds alone are not the answer but light weights and tension bands are an added plus. Also taking supplements -- calcium, magnesium and vitamin D3/K2. I am a former marathon runner and active all of my life, but have chronic pancreatitis and cannot use the tablets and must inject. The side effects so far are pretty minimal for me. I do get up during the night for the bathroom, sometimes twice, but that is due to the amount of water I drink and pre-existed Tymlos injections. The bathroom frequency has not increased.
