General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I understand your concern.
You have pain in spinal cord, ribs, sternum and in all the bone structure. In such case, I would suspect osteoporosis. Calcium & Vitamin defeciency. It would be evident on bone density test, serum, calcium and vitamin D levels.
In case confirmed, simple replacement of these would solve your problem.
Please consult a physician.
Thanks
Regards
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale,
General & Family Physician
