I wish you were here. My doctor found me to have vitamin D defienciency. Just had bilateral knee replacements that went well 8 months ago. Now found I have fractured my pelvis. Not seperated. I am so depressed. Can this be cause by a lack of vitamin D

Hi Thanks for posting I have studied your case and these fracture without trauma are known as pathological fracture with common cause is severe deficiency of viamin D leading to Osteomalacia. You will get over with viamin D and calcium supplementation. Take care Dr.chugh Virtual clininc address http://bit.ly/drmchugh
