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!

I have been on Evenity for 10 months now. I started to get joint and muscle pain throughout my body after about 6 months of injections. At first I thought I had arthritis but I know I don't because I have had a few xrays and they reveal nothing. Most recently I have had severe right hip pain along with deep muscle spasms down my right leg and throughout my buttocks. I took one Flexeril last night and it took all of the muscle pain away and now I have no joint pain. thank goodness because I didn't know how I could make it through the day today. I will tolerate the next 2 months of injections and then follow it with an infusion of zoledronic acid (reclast). Hope it all works out for all of us.
Thank you to everyone for sharing your experiences as it helps all of us navigate our way through these osteo drugs.

What's the point of keeping someone on for more than six months if most of the bone building is for the first six months?
