My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 4 days ago | Replies (978)Comment receiving replies
I spent months researching the various drugs. Especially, helpful we’re the video presentations found online by university experts. I settled on Evenity with my first shot last Friday. I was a little sore at the injection sites, on the back of my arms. I feel good and was surprised to have less pain in my lower back by Saturday morning. I was approved the drug by Medicare in less than a week. My T-score in my lower back is -3.4.

@dnanduca. Good for you.....this is a great message that you have shared with the Osteoporosis Support Group. It is encouraging when a patient digs in and learns as much as she can about the condition and the options for treating it. We know that our medical professionals are well-trained and honorably certified. However, there is no possible way they can learn enough about your medical history and your current condition to make 100% sure that the perfect medication is chosen.
You are the one that remembers a long-ago situation that revealed a potential allergic
reaction. You are the one who has anxiously waited for clinical test results to be available.
Thank you also for sharing yours right away. Evenity is mentioned as a fast bone growth solution. Was that a factor in your decision?
@kirstenlheld And good evening to you. Thanks for acknowledging the help you have received from members who shared their experiences on Connect. Are you working on your list of questions and issues for your endocrinologist? Stay with us.....we will be "listening".
May you both be healthy and whole.

Good to know. My T score of my lumbar spine is -2.8 and a little less than that in my left hip/femoral neck still in the osteopenia range. I watched the recent hip conference that was show via GBMC. It was fantastic. I am hoping that when I see the doctor associated with the one featured in the webinar (I think her name as Ruth Horowitz) we will come out with a good plan.
