Tymlos side effects?

Posted by vickizuckerman82 @vickizuckerman82, Mar 11 12:04pm

Hi all, love this group so helpful. I have been on low dose Tymlos 2 months moving up slowly. What have others experienced with regards to back pain? What kind of back pain are you experiencing? Thanks!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Hi,
Took my 3rd dose today, it gives me wicked lower back spasms. Have to stand or walk while holding a hot pack on it. Lasts about 10 minutes, but the pain makes me tired and it takes awhile, 45 min. to dissipate. Sigh, could be worse.

dustyskeleton My sympathies on your pain, but kudos on your attitude. It could indeed be worse, but some people would have given up experiencing what you have. Probably me among them.

I'm curious what dosage you're doing; perhaps going to fewer clicks would ease some of the pain and spasms? And then gradually increase it. Others seem to have had good - or at least not as bad - results with that approach.

I will try that approach, because, why not? Thanks for the suggestion.

After 6 weeks on Tymlos, I am just now experiencing lower back pain and stiffness, especially when I wake up in the morning and after sitting for a while. The pain goes away with ibuprofen. I will track my progress. So far the discomfort has been going on for five days.
