Tymlos and knee pain

Posted by zygote @zygote, 17 hours ago

I've been on Tymlos for 5 months and at last my heart has stopped thumping when I take the 70mcg. My heart rate still goes up to about 100 beats/minute, but that's ok. I was going to try to go up to 80mcg, but now my knees are killing me so much I can't sleep without taking motrin (400 mg) and sometimes that doesn't work.
#1. I want to know if others have aching knees and if this will stop after taking the medication.
#2. I also have sharp sudden pain in my legs that quickly goes away. Is this what bone pain feels like?

I was on Tymlos for four months until Cigna revoked my pre-authorization. I did get the sharp sudden pains you mention. I called them "zingers" because they felt like electric zaps. I had them in my lower legs, feet, forearms, wrists and hands. They disappeared a couple of days after I stopped taking Tymlos.

I did not experience knee pain but my elbows and wrists did hurt. That also went away after I stopped.
