My Experience on Evenity for Treating Osteoporosis

I hope that weights work for you. I am still trying to avoid Evenity altogether ( much to my doctor’s dismay) because I can’t see a future free of various dental procedures & the jaw necrosis risk plus the black box about the heart attacks just freaked me out. So I most of the time do some weights, maybe not enough but I am good about wearing a weighted vest while walking or other exercises. I think mine is the NYK one. It at least gives hope. I hate that they want us to take all these drugs.

Hello, my rheumatologist started me on Evenity. After the 3rd month of the 2 injections I woke up and my lower jaw was out of place, I couldn’t open my mouth, it sounded like mush or sand in there. My doctor immediately took me off Evenity. He gave me an order to see a Maxillofacial surgeon. Every one of them only take dental insurance and I’m on Medicare. I’ve been told I have developed necrosis of the jaw. I’ve been giving up on finding a surgeon in my area, I don’t know what else to do.
