Any success stories about Evenity to share with fearful me?

Could you explain compression pain?

Would this be the first time taking drugs?

Hi completed 12 months of shots - at infusion center. No big issues, except the following; slightly tender at injection site in arms - as soon as we moved it to stomach that went away/ light headache for a few hours after and the next day ‘almost feeling like I’m getting the flue for a few hours, then back to normal- no more issues after that. It must be brought up to room temperature before injections take place. The skin should NOT be squeezed and slowly inject the stuff by nurse. My doctor told me to have juice and cookie snack at center when I arrive before getting shot ( this gets your metabolism working and makes it easier for the medicine to get into system versus it fighting your body) I never took any pain med as I followed my docs advise that worked for me ( each of us is different, so you may have to adjust as needed) my DEXA scan had a 16.92% bone density increase - both doc and I very happy 🙂 now just started Fosomax - no issues so far. Best of luck ! You got this - I noticed for myself that the more I dived into the internet, read reviews of issues and all the bad things - the more anxious I got, so I stopped.

I switched from Prolia to Evinity as a supposedly promotes more bone growth. We’ll see. I was willing to try anything.

I’m impressed you are giving your self evenity! I have had 4 months of shots…in abdomen. I wait 10 min or so,then leave. Get them at Infusion for Health center. NP administers.
Sore injection site, but bearable. I have joint pain and occasional headaches after. Dr prefers I take Aleve or aleve pm. I take aleve pm a few nights a week if I’m having joint pain. Helps with night joint pain.
75 yo, no fractures, at risk, osteoporosis diagnosis in Jan 2025. Progressed from osteopenia.

How long were you on Prolia?

Many years.

I am on my 5th shot in the stomach and no promouced side effects. I do not do any prep but make sure I am hydrated. I have Some injection site soreness depending on who aministers the shot. I use an arnica cream to reduce that soreness if needed. Minor muscle joint pain about 7 days after shot and some fatque. But all in all much more tolerable than tymlos ( whihc gave me tremendous heart palpations, weakness and stomach pain) . Try not to be fearful.... make peace with the decision and aim for best possible result. Sending positve energy for healing support.

I've only had 1 injection and go in later this week for the 2nd. I took Tylenol before going in but once that wore off I have to say the injection sites were vert painful; I had to take Advil 2 nights in a row. The medication was warmed up beforehand. However, I asked for cold numbing spray prior to getting the injections (like I do when I get gel injections or cortisone in my knee) and that certainly helped with not feeling the sting of the syringes.

I found that the way the injections were adminstered made a big difference in injection site soreness. The syringes need to be room temp, and for me the injections need to be smooth and quick and adminstered at an angle into a nice pinched roll of fat in the stomach. If there is soreness, try an arnica cream ( inflamayar by pekana- german company). Hope this helps
