Hello,
I am male and 62yo. I have had issues with digesting dairy products for a number of years. At my last GP blood test the calcium number was 'normal' but I understand that this only gives a number for the calcium in the blood. Other blood results are normal. I am suffering from muscle aches, tingling/pins and needles in my legs and lack of energy and would like to get an idea if my body has effectively been starved of sufficient calcium for a number of years and my muscles and nerves need some help. I am currently taking more calcium foods and a couple of calcium citrate+D3 tablets per day.
Would having a bone scan be sensible and if so can anybody suggest a suitable place to go. I am in Manchester,UK and would be fine paying for the test rather than waiting for a GP referal.
Thanks
R.
