Anyone developed pain in feet from Evenity?

Posted by rita @ritabtripp, Jul 23, 2024

I have had 5 doses of Evenity and a couple months ago started having discomfort in my heels and balls and my feet have gotten progressively worse. My weight hasn’t changed (I’m not overweight), I wear good shoes with inserts and I have stopped all exercise that would exacerbate the pain. Initially the pain was only obvious if I was barefoot and now it hurts to walk even with my running shoes. It doesn’t feel like plantar fasciitis but I’m taping my toe and doing stretches to treat plantar fasciitis just in case. But the only thing that has really changed in my life has been starting on Evenity. Anyone else had this response to Evenity?

I appreciate you sharing your experience. I had plantar fasciitis years ago and have since worn custom inserts. It doesn’t feel like plantar fasciitis but just in case, I am doing all the stretches to treat it. That hasn’t helped yet. I know Evenity can cause pain in joints, but this feels like pain in the bone of my heel and ball of my feet. It feels like u gave severely bruised them but since I didn’t do anything to cause bruising I have to think it’s a dude effect. I appreciate everyone chiming in to share their experience

@ritabtripp I totally relate to the foot pain--definitely not plantar fascitis & I began to notice it about a month ago...after my 3rd Evenity injection

@gretch19 same here, though Drs said it was unrelated to Evenity. (I suspect it was since it started shortly after i started taking).
It eventually resolved after PT and stretches. Also got orthotics for PF on amazon which help maintain.

I too have been having tendon pains in my feet. My fifth injection is next week.

My biggest issue is jaw pain~~ I have a history of TMJ on my left side which has not migrated to my right side as well. Moist heat and exercises help.

Hello, I started noticing feet pain around my 10 injection. My 12th injection was at the end of May, and I am still experiencing pain in both of my feet. I did not have feet pain before starting Evenity. Hopefully, over the course of the next few months the pain will go away. I had to be on antibiotics almost the entire time I received the injections because I could not fight off even the common cold. When I go to my specialist next month, I am going to request a half a dose of Reclast and then receive the second half in six months. I am hoping she will be willing to do this.

I agree in that we all need to report the side effects we have experienced to help others. Good luck to you all. I am so grateful for Evenity because my numbers have improved but I am even more grateful to be off of it.

@rhondat23 I've had 6 months of Evenity injections and after the 5th injections, I noticed the bottom of my feet burning at night but are ok by morning. I put ankle ice packs on for 20 mins at night

I thought I bruised the bottom of my right heel!
Now I wonder if it is indeed evenity related.
Feels like I stepped on a sharp object. I do admit I go barefoot in house a lot but now wearing shoes.
Will have to see if it is a side effect.

I started Evenity in May & have suffered a host of problems.

It’s too coincidental that I too have developed a recurrence of very painful Achilles Tendonitis. This was diagnosed initially 8 to 10 years ago…has never hurt this bad

I am on a week of rest, ice & then a month of PT. This is nuts, and why are there no real solid studies on various issues ? Bone pain in my butt bone (ischial tuberosity) is killing me….frustrated at how little info is out there.

I get month 6 shots today. Going to ask more questions about various pain points. Bottom of left foot still hurts especially when walking.
Knees hurt at night and often feel like a Bose grip is turning.
