I got 12% increase in bone density after 12 monthly injections of EVENITY. That's huge and I am thrilled!

Yes, the bone density will continue to increase for about another year which might add another few more points. It could go up to a 17% increase after a year.

I am so happy for you.  

I got my third injection today and hope I do good too.  I would be thrilled to get even 9%, but 12% .... Congratulations.  

BTW, was that just spinal numbers?  Any change in femur or hip?

My lumbar score was always normal. It was my femoral scores that were low. I'll get back to you with the exact numbers but just so you know I still have osteoporosis according to the latest Dexa scores but I'm not high risk for fracture as I was before the Evenity.

Wonderful that you got your third injection. Hope you are not having any side effects. I didn't have any to speak of.

@SilleeMee,

 Great news!!

My dexa scores have never shown osteoporosis anywhere, but my bones didn't know that.   

The doctor assures me that the improvement in bone density will correlate to better bone quality which should help prevent fractures.  

I'm hoping!!
