Thank you for your reply. I have had the same reaction but with Reclast after stopping Evenity after month 9. It only took about 3 days before the pain in my right hand increased followed by my left hand 6 weeks later. Reclast was 9 months ago. I have good days and bad but keeping active really helps. I am due for another Reclast in January that I am not going to take. So I was considering trying a bisphosphonate that isn't so long lasting. Actonel half life from what I recall is 30 days; I may be wrong about that. Anyway, I want to be able to evaluate whether I am getting an adverse reaction and switch to something else. Though I have no idea what an alternative would be.

Where did you feel the arthritis pain? I started Evenity last June and by July I was having strange tingling and pain in my mid back. I do have stable compression fractures in my thoracic spine. I have had increasing pain and am even on a daily dose of Meloxicam to help (doesn't always give me much relief). I have one more shot in 2 weeks and hoping the pain and tingling subside. I was going to start Fosomax but your experience scares me. Not sure what to do at this point. I just hope I see some results in my Dexa scan. I have gone from being very active to doing a minimum of things. It's even getting hard to enjoy my grandchildren.
