Forteo or Evenity - which to take?

Has anyone gone from a full course of Forteo (1-2) years and then on to Evenity?
Interesting that none of my doctors mentioned Tymlos - which I will ask about.
Does Forteo cause a lot of side effects? Does it build bone in both the spine and hip?
Does Evenity build bone in both the spine and hip?
I am praying for peace in my ultimate decision. I was diagnosed a year ago and still haven't moved forward.
Thank you all for your thoughts and patience!

I did 11 months of Evenity and stopped before last injections due to muscle/joint pain. I had 49% increase in spine and 4% in hip and 14%. It’s been two months since last injections and aches/joint pain are improving. I had no joint pain/muscle aches prior to Evenity but spine results were worth it I think? I’m on Fosamax weekly now. I decided not to do Reclast as an injection that lasts a year was worrisome after the Evenity adverse effects. I had put off doing anything for several years but my spine just kept getting worse. It’s a big decision as I prefer anything natural if possible. Hope this helps!
