Evenity pain

Yes, I had achy hips about 6 mos in. Because it wasn’t both sides initially I was told it wasn’t the Evenity. I decided to stick it out but by 10 mos I felt like my muscles were going to snap, they felt brittle and felt like arthritis throughout my body. I am very active, ski, hike, mountain bike so in decent shape. I feel like the Evenity definitely gave me hip pain where I couldn’t pick something up off the floor until I moved around for about an hour. I stopped after 11 months as I couldn’t deal with aches and pains where I had none prior. My DEXA scores improved 49% in spine and 14 femur and only a little in hip. I’m on Fosomax now as I didn’t want to do Reclast a year long lasting injection after the adverse reactions from Evenity. It’s been 6 months since last injections and aching as gone away mostly but during this year of Evenity I have had tennis elbow for no reason and now have a torn rotator cuff from who knows what. I am wondering if the awful brittleness I felt while on Evenity this past year has contributed to my current muscle issues? Idk but need surgery to repair tendon. Just be aware of symptoms that are not normal for you. I wish I had stopped sooner but I usually just push through things to completion! Hope this helps you with your decisions.

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry for you. I appreciate you telling me your story. I hope it gets better for you. It sounds like your scores improved a lot, but at what cost :o(((( I know my doctor said if I felt bad on it, they would stop it. I just haven't decided if I want to go through with it. I am continuing to read everyone's stories and appreciate all of the feedback. It really helps me. Thank you Laura and, as I said, I hope you feel better soon :o)

I am also considering going on Evenity due to my T spine score of -4.6. It’s great to hear that your numbers went up except for your side effects. Can you share with us your T score of your spine .
