I am 36 and been menopausal since 30, vitamin D and Calcium defecient and unable to walk much. Getting a DEXA april 15th and worried as I have broken a few bones including my left leg which now has a nice bony knob and is excruciatingly painful with cold weather. I am also prone to bone spurs and have them on my heels and both knees.

I was diagnosed with osteopenia last year. I'm a guy living in Ireland and have just recently turned 18. I don't smoke but am pretty thin and have been on steroids for asthma, the doctors reckon that's why I have it.
