I was fine until month 6 or 7. I then had very bad hip pain initially then every muscle and joint ached so it was very difficult to get dressed etc. I’m 67 active and never had arthritis but felt like I had it thru out my body. I discontinued after 11 months and it took 6 months for those effects to go away. I would have quit after 7 or 8 had I known most bone building happens in first half of series. Had great gains in spine and very little improvement other sites. Just listen to your body as all are different. I was told it wasn’t from Evenity but it was. On Actonel now and am fine. Hope this helps!
