Evenity pain

Good evening @sheriv, I understand why the costs are frightening. Tymlos was the most reasonable copay for me. There are usually support options explained on the website. Recently, I have had to seek help from the manufacturer of my itch control injections. There was a staff of medical professionals who helped my daughter find some help for me. I am not good at following processes because of my cognitive issues. My daughter has 30 years of experience with insurance. On my current medication, I pay nothing at this time. My co-pay would have been $1547 per month. Don't give up. There is help ....you just have to apply and be approved.

Clue #1....make sure your medication is on the Medicare formulary. Sometimes, and for some reason, a medication is left off. You can ask for an exception.

Good luck to you.

Thank you so much for this information Chris. I truly appreciate it :o) Sheri

Has anyone had knee aches? I did a jog-walk and felt great. The next morning I could barely get out of bed. My left knee was aching terribly. I eventually went to urgent care, had an X-ray done and there was nothing wrong with my knee. I am going to physical therapy to strengthen muscles around the knees. Even if I walk, both knees all the way to the ankle feels sore. I just had my 6th Evenity shot and I told the nurse about my problems. She said if it was due to the Evenity, it would be a problem right after the injection, not weeks afterwards.

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 .

Hi, sorry for the delayed response. My spine went from -3.8 to -2.1, 2.8 to 2.7 in hip and 2.5 t0 2.1 in pelvis

I haven't had extreme pain but I do get some aches now and then. It's always hard to know if it's from the injections or me just overdoing. I garden a lot. It usually goes away with some gentle stretching and icing so I attribute it to my overuse. I am going for my 4th injection so will check back afterward.

I'm not sure the nurse was completely correct. I had such bad back pain after 3 injections that I had to quit the drug. I'm back on Prolia. It was hard to convince the physician and I had to bring my husband with me. The physician printed out information on the Evenity trials for me to read. I noticed it was their labs that were involved in the printed information results. Plus the idea of having a cardiovascular incident didn't make me feel any better.

I just started Evenity. I picked it up at the pharmacy and injected myself. I hope all goes well.

Kristie,
Wow. I didn’t know that you could do it yourself. What was the cost if you don’t mind me asking?

Evenity is a one-year drug therapy. Has anyone stopped after a year and what did you experience? My doctor wants me to do Reclast-which I won't because of side effects. I don't know what the alternative is as I hated Prolia and couldn't wait to get off of it in six months. I will not take a yearly injection of anything because, if you have side affects you can't stop the drug and get it out of your system.
