Hi,

With the number of skeletal injuries you seem to have sustained it sounds likely that your calcium levels may be too low and this could be due to either a problem in your vitamin D intake, kidney function, or parathyroid gland function.

The way to fix the problems you mention would be to obviously, find the source of the problem with your calcium homeostasis (equilibrium) and correct that issue.

Your doctor will send you for specific tests to figure out where the main problem is in the chain and give you either recommendations, medications, or both to get things back on track.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dariush Saghafi,
Neurologist
