I completed my one year of treatment on 4/10/26. Side effects were mild: joint pain that was worse around 4 months in and that gradually improved. I also gained about 5 lbs during the first six months that gradually went away during the last six months.

I had some mild discomfort after the first injection, similar to the reaction I had to my second shingles vaccine shot.

I had significant improvement in my lumbar spine (30% improvement) so it was definitely worth it for me.

I've been on alendronate, Tymlos, teraparatide, and Evenity. I had the fewest side effects on alendronate, followed by Evenity, Tymlos, and teraparatide (which I had to stop taking).

I liked that it was a monthly injection and not something I had to take weekly or daily.
