Tenderness of bones

[Susie1955]

Does anyone else suffer with your bones being tender

I have osteoporosis for about 7 years now

[Nanaedake]

Which bones and what do you mean by tender?

[Susie1955 in reply to Nanaedake]

When pressure it put on my bones all of them but worse on my ribs

[Nanaedake in reply to Susie1955]

Have you had rib or spinal fractures?

Are you checking vitamin D levels, calcium and other critical vitamins?

[Susie1955 in reply to Nanaedake]

No

[Nanaedake in reply to Susie1955]

What evidence supports your response?

[Susie1955 in reply to Nanaedake]

I used to take vitamin D tablets then I moved to Spain and no longer take them

[Nanaedake in reply to Susie1955]

What is your vitamin D level now? How were you diagnosed with osteoporosis?

[Susie1955 in reply to Nanaedake]

I was diagnosed by a bone density scan

Had a blood test about 3 weeks ago and was no deficiency with vitamin D

I took aldronic acid for 5 years then 18 months took me off it on no medication now But in the blood test it showed a hormone which was high that the doctor said it is an hormone that keeps the bones strong and cause it was high shows her that my body is working hard to keep my bones strong she is waiting for result of the test to give me medication

Doctor sent me for a bone density scan 2 weeks ago just waiting for result

[Nanaedake in reply to Susie1955]

What was your vitamin D level? Not being deficient is not the same thing as being optimal. A DEXA scan will not show up smaller spinal fractures so if you have not had spinal xrays assessed by an osteoporosis specialist then you cannot be sure you have not had spinal fractures.

Bisphosphonates can cause bone pain. The side effects may stay with you a long time because the drug is incorporated into bone and then slowly released.

Ok so I need to ask the doctor spinal X-ray

Particularly post Prolia injection. Tender, sore, achy bones particularly in my thigh region.
