I just saw your post. I completed 11 months of Evenity and am not getting the last injections to complete the 12 mos. My arms after injection were always tender for a couple of days which is not a big deal. However, I am active...walk, bike, mountain bike, ski, etc. and have always done so. Have a family history of low bone density but no one has broken a bone so I avoided meds like crazy due to side effects but did decide to try Evenity as my spine density was getting worse. I felt great and strong before Evenity but not now. Side effects for me seemed to get pretty noticeable around month 8 of injections. I now have weakness and stiffness in hips, shoulders, back of hands...I was trying to "tough it out" but I feel like I've ruined my health. I literally am uncomfortable just getting out of bed. I am hoping that these things will get better as Evenity leaves my system. I am 66 and otherwise was 100% healthy. Not happy at the moment and haven't had a scan yet to see if it helped at all. I am soooo hesitant to take anything to follow up after ending Evenity. My mom is 92, active and has had osteoporosis since her 40s and never taken meds and never broken a bone. Kind of wish I hadn't used Evenity as no one seems to be able to tell me if what I am experiencing will dissipate. I am just keeping active and pushing through the discomfort at this point. My last injection was only a month ago but I just couldn't justify having that last injection the way I feel.
