Graves anyone got thinning bones ?
Posted , 4 users are following.
I was diagnosed with Graves about 3 years ago, got it under control but now have a lower back issue - hairline fractures on my spine . So thinning bones, osteopathic.
Just wondered if anyone has the same ? I think Graves (hyperthyroidism) is considered a risk of osteoporosis

I had recurring back lower back pain in May and June this year, it came and went . Then came back in July and stayed , my condition came to light after an X-ray .
Probably have to take bisphosphonates .
Many thanks for replying Linda and I’ll look out for email

Even when euthyroid for 2 years you can still be vitamin D deficient .
In view of what I’m going through I think it’s very important when diagnosed with Graves to get the vitamin D blood test - maybe if my Endocrinologist had picked up on it , I wouldn’t have got hairline cracks in my spine which has been pretty painful and it’s going to take a few years of calcium and vitamin D to get my bone density back to normal ..
