How long do side effects last - Evenity (leg numbness, tingling, weak)
My wife started Evenity a few months ago. The first injection was fine. She had a significant reaction to the second injection - joint swelling and a lot of pain. She was treated largely with steroids and the pain has subsided (it has been about 4 weaks). However, she still has numbess, tingling and weakness in one of her legs. We have been to a number of doctors and, most recently, she had a nerve conduction study. That study found no damage. Has anyone had an experience like this with Evenity and, if so, did the symptoms resolve (and, how long did it take).
Thanks.

I hate to sound negative but I had similar side effects with Prolia and Alendronate. It has not gone away for the past 6 mos.

1 ReactionI have been on Evenity for 4 and 1/2 months. About two weeks after the third shot, I started having increased pain in my right leg. I do have some stenosis on that side--where the nerve exits my spinal column, but it seems possible that the pain and weakness in my right leg may be exacerbated by the Evenity. I have tried discussing this with my doctors, but I am not satisfied with their responses. I will be getting a steroid shot on Monday and will see if this helps. If the pain returns after my next Evenity shot, I will attribute it to the drug and consider taking another osteoporosis medication. I am hoping that I will be able to continue taking Evenity since it does seem to be working as it should--building bone.
I have left side leg , hip pain that started after my 12th shot. It has been 5 months and it has only gotten worse
A xray of my leg and hip noted on of hip but a possible injury to my lt femur? Did not say fx but noted calified spot indicating a possible injury. My pain is hip leg and now to lower leg. I can barely walk. Hip injected did not last but a few weeks . To ortho this Tuesday.
