Hi,

I have read your query.

It seems that your bones are weak.

If I am your treating doctor, I would advise you to have vit D, serum calcium, bone mineral density and send me the report.

Also get xray of both knee standing in AP View done and send me the report, I want to see present Condition of joint and condition of bones.

You can have calcium supplement and biphosphonate drugs by prescription of your doctor, I usually advise my patients to have this.
