I had some severe arm pain after the first injections in the arms which lasted about a week. For the 2nd and 3rd injections, I asked the nurse to give it to me in the belly and that's been much better. There's some local tenderness for a day or so.

As far as other side effects, I can't pin them on Evenity as I'm being checked for MGUS which could be causing these other symptoms. It's difficult to say that fatigue etc. is due to Evenity.

When I agreed to go on Evenity, I made a commitment to myself to accept minor physical nuisances. The alternative is a fracture. I saw my mother suffer from multiple fractures and I don't want that for myself. I made a commitment to myself to be positive and grateful that I can afford this expensive medication and I will see it through to the end of the regimen. I am staying positive about it. I read too much "doom and gloom" on here. People must not understand that the alternative for someone with severe osteoporosis is a fracture and possible debility for the rest of your life.
