I too have been going back-and-forth between doctors who say it’s sciatica or IT band. It seem to start when I started the Evenity which was prescribed for me six months after I had a compression fracture of my spine due to a boating accident. I am borderline osteoporosis, but otherwise a healthy 70-year-old who is very active. I’ve had 10 shots so far, and after reading your posts I’m not sure I’m going to continue. It could be a coincidence with the symptoms, but I can see no other cause for this. It’s very frustrating not to be able to walk more than a few blocks without the pain, or drive a car without cruise control.
I have found capsaici patches helpful and tylenol or advil/aleve or whatever. I also sometimes overdo or make a mistake and it is a week or two or three of pain. As for pain from a bone growing med, I expect that and try to welcome it even if I have trouble getting going that day. Right now I am in pain and about to try to go to the store. (I do curbside pickup so I don't have to lift into the car.)
