Q: Bone Pain
asked by: rabbitlady on April 10th, 2009

what will cause excrutiating bone pain in pelvis, leg, ribs? Pain is worse with rest or sleep. I have not slept more than two consecutive hours in the past year. Nothing seems to relieve this except strong pain meds. Bone scan showed mild uptake in knees, elbows, ankles. Suggestive of Osteoarthritis but I am 48 years old and never had any problems then to have all these areas pop up at once seems strange. MRI showed fluid on knees and ankles. CT scan showed calcific granulomas in liver and spleen. Nodules in lungs and mediastinal area.Bloodwork and urine test normal. This has been going on for 1 year and I can't seem to get a diagnosis. Any suggestions? Should I try and get a bone marrow biopsy? I have seen numerous doctors but no diagnosis, went to Mayo clinic as well. RA, fibromyalgia, lupus, celiac, have all been ruled out. Could this be bone cancer with normal bloodwork?
All blood and urine tests are "normal". Any suggestions or ideas appriciated.
Thanks mom in distress.

I have bone pain too
Hi I also have bone pain seemingly unexplained. until recently. I went to clinic to complain about a bump I had on a toe that would not heal, and he discovered i had high blood pressure, and ordered a bunch of blood tests, one thing he clicked off was PTH which is parathyroid hormone.. you might want to read up about this. The parathyroid controls calcium levels in your blood.. sometime this glands become overactive and raise the blood calcium levels too high, thus causing the body to suck out calcium from your bones, this can go on for years with you not knowing... and causes a host of other problems, like high blood pressure, Osteoporosis, kidney stones, and or kidney failure, heart problems etc...

Since it is such a rare random thing.. it might just be your problem
