I posted a new comment on this thread today, but not sure if this is the correct place for what I posted. Please review my post -- if necessary relocate to a better location. Let me know if you do that, please.
The subject of my post was: results of taking Evenity for 18 months.
My insurance approved Evenity. UHC part F.
I was on it for a year and had no side effects. Unfortunately my DXA scan showed no improvement. Then I had an injection of Reclast and am still having severe pain in both legs months later. I started with Tymlos. I still have severe osteoporosis and don’t want to try anything else. My body has not responded. Very frustrating to say the least.
Hello:
I discovered I have osteoporosis, and began treatment after having a compression fracture from skiing - something that normally would not have caused a fracture - in T 12. Very painful, but I recovered on my own without treatment. I was motivated to treat my osteoporosis after that!
I started Evenity injections in February, 2022. They are given in fatty part of upper arm, your abdomen or thighs. I try to rotate where they are given.
I usually have some soreness and redness for a day or so - sometimes not much, other times more.
I have no history of stroke or heart attack so hoping I don't have any problems with that.
I wonder if the risk returns to previous level once I complete the 12 monthly injections?
I will have a dexa-scan at some point to see my results and to determine whether I start prolia or reclast as a maintenance therapy. I am generally healthy and exercise regularly - so this was a surprise for me.
