Does Osteoporosis Cause Lower Backache And Shortness Of Breath?
I have lower pain in my back. Periodic shortness of breath, pain in both ankles and feet, loss of taste. I recently had an alkaline phosphates test resulting in 151 which my doctor says is very high. I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis. I m not sure all of this is all due to the osteo. I m concerned this could be something serious. I am a 57 year old female, non smoker (quit 10 years ago). I don t know how to proceed.
