Evenity

I broke my hip on the same day as my 4th injection of Evenity.
A fragility fracture requiring an emergency Total Hip Replacement (R).
I fell in 2019, fragility fracture, breaking my left hip and requiring an emergency Total Hip Replacement.
I am now bilateral.

Hi, I have just joined to see if anyone else has had this problem. My blood pressure was elevated for over 2 days after my second shot of Evenity. I only noticed because I happened to check my BP. I don't know if it occurred after the first injection.
I have told my doctor that I am not comfortable continuing with the injections.

Very interesting question. My blood pressure is usually around 115/64. I take my blood pressure nearly every day. But every time I go in for my Evenity infusion it starts at about 150/60. We usually go with three rounds of waiting 15 minutes to see if it will come down. But it goes up over this 45 minute routine. Once it was 196/70 on the third attempt. I think this is because I am stressed because I know that the medical providers will not give me the infusion if my BP is too high. But I have not missed any of my infusions so far; I am about half way through.
I chose to travel each month to get these infusions, rather than have them within 6 miles from me. It was important to me to be where I felt I would get good care even if something did not go as planned. It is true that BP is a concern. I am glad that I have my infusions in an infusion center that is a part of a highly recognized heart center/hospital.

Specific to your question, I'll make a concerted effort to take my BP several times over the 48 hours after my next infusion. I'll report back. But I stress again that my concerns are alleviated because of where I have my infusion. [See my prior comment.]
