For Osteoporosis "I have been on Evenity for 7 months, and thankfully, I have had minimal reactions. The only side effect I have noticed is some soreness in my arms after the injections. Additionally, I have experienced hair loss, which I believe is linked to this medication. Considering my conditions of RA and osteoporosis, I am overall satisfied with the treatment. I will have to wait until October 2023 for the results of my Dexa scan."

For Osteoporosis "I have only had two injections of Evenity. However, the first two days after I have it, I am in bed with flu-like symptoms and a bad headache. I had a total hip replacement in May 2023, and my surgeon said my bones were very bad, even though I have been on Prolia for 10 years. That's why they want me to try Evenity. I am having severe groin pain and hip pain, along with my hair falling out really bad. I will continue for a few more months to see if some of these conditions stop."

For Osteoporosis "I just had my 8th injection. The injection pain for me is very mild. I have a long history of rheumatoid arthritis. I feel like after being on Evenity, my pain has increased. I have more pain in my groin, in my right leg and ankle, in my hip, and sacral area. My pelvic and sacral areas were both fractured about 13 months ago. I had been on steroids for the RA for many years, off and on. I do believe that is what caused the osteoporosis and a spontaneous fracture in my left leg. I am hoping all the pain subsides a bit when I finish the Evenity. I am going to do the 12 months."

For Osteoporosis "In the beginning I had no side effects. Then, I developed pain in my thighs and arms, knees and hands. The last 4 months I had severe headaches and very strong whole body pain. This felt like my nerve endings were firing at the same time. Each month the pain increased to the point where I could not sleep for several days. I stopped taking it 3 months ago and still have episodes once in awhile. I told my doctor but he totally dismissed it. I was told by my doctor that if I stopped taking it, my bones would revert back to the previous state. I was not told that until I stopped the shots. These are just some of my side effects. There were more."

For Osteoporosis "Today (4-29-24) I rec’d my 9th set of injections. For the 1st few months I was so miserable. But over the last 2 months I’ve noticed a big improvement in how I’m feeling. I was dealing with severe body aches, bone aches, & insomnia. I was living on ibuprofen…which is bad with continued use. But I couldn’t function without it. But my last 2 injection dates I’ve begun to feel amazing. No more aches! I can feel strength in my back. I feel stronger than I did. It’s hard to put it into words but I feel a big difference. I had considered stopping at one point because the body pain was so terrific. But I decided to gut through it & see if there’d be a positive change. The last 2 times of my injections…I didn’t even get sore arms! I was pleasantly surprised. I normally have local swelling, itchiness, puffy redness, and couldn’t even comb my hair for a couple of days. I get another bone density test in September. I’m hoping for a big positive change."

For Osteoporosis "I have had three monthly injections of Evenity with very few side effects. I have had a slight headache but not severe. Also, joint discomfort with the last 2 injections. I am scheduled for the full year of treatment."

For Osteoporosis "Last August, I completed 12 months of Evenity treatment. I had very mild side effects only on the day after each series of shots, a mild headache and a little tired, injection sites (each arm) sore and tender for a week. But completely tolerable. After 2 spinal compression fractures and 3 years of Reclast, I welcomed each Evenity shot! No new fractures, so that’s worth celebrating! My endo also got me into a program that paid for the drug copays."

For Osteoporosis "I was having trouble getting bones stronger for surgery. I used Evenity shots for 12 months. The doctor doing the surgery said that my bones got so much stronger that it was hard as stone. He was well pleased with Evenity."

For Osteoporosis "The 1st month I took it, I had the flu right after and thought I was doomed. I am in the third month and no reactions at all. And my body is highly sensitive to most medication. Keeping my fingers crossed, I can get through the full year and make sure I take my calcium supplements."

For Osteoporosis "I was very remiss in not addressing my osteoporosis, and two years ago, following a fractured vertebra, my T-score for my spine was 4.3. A month ago I completed one year of Evenity injections, and my score is now 3.1. I still have osteoporosis, but it is now less serious than it was ten years ago. My scores did not improve for my hips, but did for my forearm. The only side effects I experienced were very slight discomfort at the injection site (I had the two injections in my abdomen). I went to PT, exercised regularly, and took calcium and vitamin D supplements. I will now start on Prolia. I would encourage anyone with a poor spinal T-score to try Evenity."

For Osteoporosis "I just had my first shot the first week of August (three weeks ago.) I have a continual headache which affects my affect. When I hurt, I feel annoyed a lot. My jaw also hurts and I thought that maybe I needed to see a chiropractor. I have been adjusted and I still hurt. I am also having involuntary toe and ankle cramps that electrolytes do not help. I am drinking almond milk by the quart to make sure the cramps are not from low calcium. Right now, I do not like this medicine at all."

For Osteoporosis "I have had five injections of Evenity—slight tenderness at the injection site for a day or two after injections—no big deal. I have not noticed any serious side effects. I got on this site to see if anyone has experienced new hair growth. My hair had been falling out for five years, probably due to high doses of prednisone. I have noticed in the last few months huge hair growth! I wondered if new bone growth could also result in new hair growth. After reading more, it seems that, if anything, Evenity might cause some hair loss! Maybe my new hair growth is that I have been able to significantly reduce my prednisone use because I got on a drug that is helping with my RA. I don’t know if it has helped my bones because I haven’t taken another bone density test."

For Osteoporosis "I have been taking Evenity for around 11 months. Sometimes, the injection sites hurt after getting a dose the next day. I chose my arms because my hip area hurt quite a bit after getting the doses. I get my shots at an infusion office where I see the same two RNs. I am hoping my bones have significantly improved. Then, it's on to Prolia for several years, but that is only once every 6 months, NOT once a month. I was unable to take oral medication because of stomach issues. Osteoporosis runs in my family. The itching is pretty unpleasant but not so bad that I would quit. I am in month 11 out of 12. Looking forward to being done."

For Osteoporosis "I just had my third set of injections of Evenity. I’ve been feeling alright (no side effects) until the third set. I’m now feeling slight joint pain. I notice it mostly in my left shoulder and my left wrist. It’s not terribly bad…it’s just there. I’m grateful for this medication because my osteoporosis was very bad."

For Osteoporosis "Just finished 12 months of injections. At age 56, Lumbar T-score was -3.1 and now is -1.9! Hip T-score improved, but not as much... -2.9 and now -2.5. Only side effect was 1-2 soreness at the injection site. I'm pleased with the result and will see what ongoing maintenance will be in a few weeks."

My doctor put me on Mobic and OsteoEase to help alleviate the pain, so I could move around. I have never had side effects from any injection before, so this has really thrown me."

For Osteoporosis "I started Evenity in June 2023 and I was 135 lbs. I was very pleased with Evenity because it didn't make me sick like Boniva did. I just got my 9th dose this morning but have been experiencing unexplained weight loss. After several tests, I now weigh 113.6 lbs. My BMI is only 16.8. I will have a DEXA scan next month to see if there has been any improvement. I am on a wait-and-see basis to determine if I can tolerate my next 3 injections with so much weight loss. The only other side effects noted were pain at the injection sites and a hard lump at the injection sites for about 3 days each time."

For Osteoporosis "I will be getting my fifth injection in a week. I’ve had some joint ache, but not enough to warrant stopping these injections. I’ve been actually doing all right and feeling pretty good. I haven’t had a repeat bone density test yet, so I can’t really comment on whether or not this is working. I can only hope it is. I have a bit of local soreness after the injection for about a day, and then it’s gone. My neurosurgeon recommended this as a way to help my very bad bone situation, and so I’m pleased that there’s at least (hopefully) a fix to it."

For Osteoporosis "Just started 2 weeks ago but I had injection site swelling and a painful area felt like it was inflamed. The nurse who gave the injection said there would be no swelling or pain when I asked about it. I know not everyone has this problem, but my arm was swollen and painful for five or six days. Not looking forward to the next injections, wish the nurse had told me that the reaction is not likely but possible. Monthly injection is convenient, and my reaction, although painful, is tolerable."
