I posted this on Sept. 21 in the Anyone taken Evenity (romosozumab) for Osteoporosis? thread:
I've had 2 sets of Evenity injections so far. The 1st time, they gave them in the flabby part of both arms that hangs down : ) She injected slowly, but it wasn't too bad. BUT, by mid afternoon later both began to feel sore; by dinner both were very sore; and by bedtime, they were both extremely sore. I couldn't even bear them touching the sheets. I ended up sleeping in a recliner with my arms across my chest, so the backs of my arms weren't touching anything. And I have a high pain tolerance (3 babies delivered naturally, no meds). My arms were sore with tender (almost painful) lumps were injected for a week with pain radiating almost to my elbow, esp. on the left. The good news is I felt better each day and I carried out my normal active routine, being careful not to bump my arms the first few days and had no other issues.
I decided to have the 2nd set of Evenity injections in my abdomen. MUCH BETTER!!! Just tender to touch for a couple days, with a bit of a lump under the skin where injected. I was able to sleep as usual in bed.
I definitely plan on having the injections in my abdomen, if they'll give them there from now on.
Update: I had my 3rd set of injections on Sept. 26 in my abdomen, also, and had very minimal discomfort : )!!!

I wasn’t asked where I wanted the injections given, maybe I’ll see next month if they can do my abdomen.

I would make sure that the injections are being given at room temperature. I self inject and leave out for at least 1 hour.
So far I haven’t had any pain from the injections.
