 Posted: 08/13/06 - 23:00 Post subject: Osteoporosis and Hyperparathyroid |
 |
|
Hi, my mother is 63, and she suffers from osteoporosis caused by hyperparathyroidism. I am worried about her, because she is not young any more, and she can easily fall and break her bone, especially with these conditions. Is there anybody else who suffers from both these disorders?

Hi, I had hyperparathyroidism for some time before I got osteoporosis. Hyperparathyroidism is a condition when the parathyroid glands are overactive, and relieve too much calcium into the blood. That is how the bones lose calcium, and became weak and fragile. It takes a slightest pressure for osteoporotic bones to break. This is what happened to me, and how I broke my leg. Your mother has to be very careful, because we are in ten times greater danger of fracture than the other people. When I decided to remove the overactive gland, it was too late, becuase I already had the symptoms of osteoporosis. I had this surgery anyway, but I didn’t recover completely.

| Looking for information on the overproduction of calcium in the parathyroid which led to osteoporosis - I have all the symptoms, and have had the symptoms since 2003 - just now being told by endocronologist that we have to find out what the source of the high calcium in the blood, no calcium in the bones, any one with the same problem?[/b] |
