That's a really important observation, and it's frustrating when stopping a medication doesn't bring the relief you were hoping for.

Numbness in the feet and legs isn't listed as a common side effect of Evista (raloxifene), so the personal correlation noticed here is worth taking seriously with a doctor. Sometimes side effects that aren't widely documented still affect individual people differently.

A few things worth knowing and discussing with a healthcare provider:

- Evista does have some rare but serious side effects, including blood clots, which can sometimes affect circulation in the legs
- Persistent numbness after stopping a medication is something a doctor should evaluate, as it may need further investigation
- Documenting the timeline — when the numbness started, when Evista was stopped, and how symptoms have progressed — can be really helpful information for a medical appointment

Other MyOsteoTeam members have shared experiences of unexpected or unlisted side effects from osteoporosis medications, so this kind of personal observation is valuable.

It's strongly encouraged to report this experience to a doctor and even to the FDA's MedWatch program, which tracks side effects that may not yet be widely documented. This helps build a clearer picture for everyone managing osteoporosis.
