Just wanted to give some feedback about my 2nd set of injections with Evenity this month. This time, I made sure that a different person would be doing the injections, and I was very descriptive about the pain of the previous injections. I also made the point that I had taken a complete round of Evenity in 2023 with hardly any injection site pain. I also asked when they took out the medicines for injections and they reassured me that they take them out first thing when they open their office in the mornings. And this time the experience was excellent. We decided to try one in the arm and one in the abdomen to see which I might find better, and because the provider knew what she was doing; she took the full minute and injected very slowly and there was very minimal pain at either site. I sat in the chair and hung my arm straight down from the shoulder, too, which I think also helped relax the injection area. She also had me hold the 2nd injection in my hand to further warm it up while she was giving the first one.
And I was a tiny bit sore the next day but it was nothing like the previous visit, where the pain lasted for 3 days. She said most of her clients prefer the abdominal injections but I honestly thought they felt about the same, so I will probably go back to both arms for the next time. I also made sure I got booked with the same person for my next appointment. Hope this helps.

I am wondering if some of the extreme pain some of you are describing might be because of administering mistakes, such as bad injection technique, not warming the shots enough beforehand, giving the injection too fast (you should never have a lump in your arm afterwards if the shot was given slowly enough), and possibly also on what position your arm is in when the injection is given (I think hanging your arm straight down worked much better for me rather than bending it on the chair’s armrest.)
