Suggestions how prepare for 1st Evenity injection prevent side effects

Hubby (84 years old, also with various autoimmune conditions) has had no side effects since getting Evenity once a month for 10 months, so far.

Thank you for letting me know. I hope all goes well for your hubby🩵

I have had 8 months of shots. Also had another bone scan after 8 months and there is improvement . I have had 2 main side effects: insomnia and joint pain, which h re the most common side effects. My dr told me take aleve, which I do when the joint pain is severe.
Have had some bruising at injection site. I’ve been getting them in my stomach.
I now need to talk w dr and research the next med after the evenity shots end,
Winging you good success!

@barbyb50 That’s great news your bones have improved! Thank you for sharing your experience. Hope your side effects decrease. I am working on improving my sleep hygiene since I have issues waking up really early.
How long after your injections do the side effects begin and how long do they last? I’m strategizing how to schedule around work. Thank you again!

@wili22
I began having left leg pain on month 10 of my evenity which has only increased. Now have rt hip pain after my follow up reclast shot. Walking is very painful
My dexa scores are increased by 9
but the leg pain is unbearable. My endocrinologist tells me this is not a siide effect but my reading here and in history of evenity says different
Yesterday I toid her no further tx. My arthritis is really painful since evemity injections. Hands. Hips and feet mostly
So I am back to hot tub and exercises only.

@wili22 I did 12 months of Evenity injections with no side effects. I had a little soreness at the injection sites (I received the standard two injections) for about 24 hours. That happened a few times and the soreness was similar to what I sometimes experience with flu and COVID vaccinations.

I didn't have any noticeable side effects. I have heard that some folks apply a cold pack immediately after the shots but I never needed that. I had great results with evenity. Just make sure you are prepared to discuss with your doc what comes next in your drug sequencing after evenity

Is Evinity the same class of drug as Prolia? I suffered severe tendinitis on Prolia. I have been on Foxamax for about three years and now have turned up what feels like tendinitis in my shins.

@gravity3 what did you follow up with?
