Question:
I seem to be having pains in certain areas concerning my bones.

I find that my bones are very delicate to the touch. I am having the most pain in my right shoulder and left hip bone area. Has anyone else had the same sensations? I am taking calcuim pills so not sure what may be wrong.    — Janet V. (posted on March 18, 2002)

It might be arthritus or gout. (I have both).

Hi, seems you've lost alot of weight. Couldn't it be that your bones are just starting to rub the wrong way? I know that when I first lost all this weight, I couldn't lay on my side cause my shoulders would hurt (no fat to pillow me) and I couldn't lay on my back cause my butt would hurt (again, no fat at all). Eventually, your body adjusts and I just don't notice those pains anymore. I think that the muscle and skin grew over those bones alittle bit maybe. I honestly believe that this is a good thing for you. Says you are getting thin. Good luck.

Are the calcium citrate or carbonate? Brand names that are NOT calcium citrate include: Tums, Viactiv (& other chews), Caltrate 600, to name a few. Citracal IS calcium citrate and formulated with the correct ratios. If you CAN, you might want to have a dexascan done. Although you are young, there are a dozen risk factors that could cause bone loss along with your wt loss. Along with what everyone else said, you can pursue these and see if that helps.
