Evenity treatment and its effectiveness
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 3 hours ago | Replies (60)Comment receiving replies
I have had seven months of Evenity injections . After a couple of months I began experiencing neck pain which comes and goes(mostly present to one degree or another). It is most painful (throbbing and sometimes sharp) at night lying down. I also have been having severe headaches but they may have started shortly before the first injection. I do not know whether these head or neck pains are caused by Evenity . I am wondering whether anyone else has experiened frequent, severe head and/or neck pains while taking Evenity, If yes, did they end once the treatment was completed and/or did any permenent damage occur? I am trying to decide whether to cease taking the injections now or continue to tolerate the pain until completion of the 12 month regiman.

@perpetua Yes I get the headaches, brain fog, tiredness and aches and pain. Put my surgeon wants me to stick it out. I do have good days. Walking 3-4 miles a day, naps and Tylenol. When I notice a pain it always moves around. So I’m thinking that’s where the bone builder is working at that time. I do have Cervical issues so my neck always hurt. It’s just a miracle that a medication can grow bones.

I just had my 9th injection. I have never had any side effects from Evenity. I am probably going to switch rheumatologists (for various reasons) and the new one is suggesting Prolia next. I am unsure if I want to go on that or Reclast. I need more conversations with him about it.

@perpetua I had neck pains after the first injection but a physical therapist gave me some exercises to help with that. No more after the first injection. I did get a migraine and my rheumatologist prescribed Relpax but I had just one migraine. He told me if I had more than he would need to determine whether I should go off Evenity. Perhaps discuss with your doctor?
