Do I still have hope for my bones?

Thanks for that suggestion. Ill go see my doctor. But how do you suggest I explian my symptoms? What if my doctor jut says whatever, be careful and healthy and all that?

Well, try to explain everything you feel, this weakness or if you feel some pain and things like this. And if he says something like that, omg, change of doctor, haha.

Recently there has been a lot of study concerning VItamin D. In addition to it helping your body use calcium, it also helps it use phosphorus which also helps build strong bones. Vitamin D strengthens your immune system preventing and fighting things like the common cold virus, asthma, some types of arthritis, Multiple Schlerosis (MS), and even cancer. Vitamin D is also thought to help with weight control and keeping your brain healthy. Here is a link to information about this important vitamin - http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/161618.php Exercise - Exercise actually strengthens the bone. Muscles are attached to the bone with tendon. For the muscles to work, they push and pull on the bone. The pushing and pulling make the bone grow stronger as the muscles grow stronger. Running - "a good exercise or is it counterproductive" - both. Excessive hard impact is bad for the bones and can result in stress fractures; however, wearing the proper shoes, running on softer surfaces (not pavement or rock), and limiting the amount of running (no marathons) can be beneficial exercise because the muscles are pushing and pulling on the bone and the impact is minimal.

Thnaks for such an amazing and detailed response. Its very helpful. Do you know what else vitamen D is good for in your body? How does exerise help wih the bones? Does it strengthen them or them muscles around them - for support? Is running a good exercise or is it counterproductive (as teh shock can damage your leg and hip bones) - or can you do it right and not hurt yourself?

I do track (long distance running) and occasionaly dance and tae bo and such. Why is a sport good for your bones? Id like impact sports would be less healthy for yur bones because it sends shock through them and makes them more fraigle and brittle. And how would being a vegetarian be good for the bones? Im not saying Im a major meat eater but I ned meat in my daily die. I cant not eat meat or meat realated or animal products in my life. Dinner in my house is based around the meat we are dining on that evening.

first, impact makes your bones more strength, second, meat tooks calsium from your bones, vegetables or being vegetarian served calsium for your bones. you could see the diifferent between herbivore and carnivore.
