I am 44 yrs. old, been suffering with excruciating pain that continued to increase over time never falling below a 7 on the pain scale..old docs would not listen to my symptoms or they would not change pains. So I changed them. Best move ever made.. within 3 weeks new docs found out that i suffered from malabsorbtion of all needed nutrients and vitamins due to gastric bypass surgery in 2002.None to severely below normal Vit.D "OSTEOMALACIA" my bones were very soft causing such pains that I just knew it'll feel better if I was hit by a tractor trailer head-on..but hey they wouldn't do it..my body regardless of how long i'd lay out in the sun still won't absorb and/or maintain a descent level of Vit D..if you follow my profile and the other support groups I'm in you'll see I'm a complete mess..I'm still researching this new enemy and if I can help anyone in any way I'd be more than happy share my findings..Hey, we'll make it soft bones and all..

Now...

Here's a question...

How can you have osteomalacia,osteoporosis and osteoarthritis all at the same time?

Does anyone have osteonecrosis? ( this is another ugly bugger)
