Posted , 4 users are following.
i am 22,i was a perfectly fit semi pro footballer up until about two years ago when i had this ankle injury which required about 4 months to heal...and because i had the tendency to be fat, i started to drink excess water because i thought it was the only way to maintain my weight as i wouldnt be able to play for some time........i took excess water,and when i say excess, i mean exess...i did this for about a month until i started having nausea,muscle cramps in my leg,back and arms,and then fatigue crept in.....tests revealed that my calcium level was low,and gave me drugs to use,but there wasnt any kind of improvement.....i went for further tests after months and it was revealed that my vitamin D level was low,i was given vitamin d3 drugs to use,still no improvement since......My most recent symptoms are severe fatigue i.e my body takes a week to recover from just one football match, i cant stand for 20 mins without looking for a chair,nausea, weak legs, muscle cramps, pain in the center of my chest....joint pains,headache,im fatigued after 5 mins on the field............i have a chance to become a pro footballer now and i cant even attend the trials because of fear of messing up.....PLS HELP.

this is an outside chance but have you been checked to see if you are passing phosphate in your urine? This could be symptom of a form of osteomalacia. Very rare but worth testing for it.

please bear in mind that there are only 300-400 cases worldwide each year so your doctor may not be fully aware of it.

I hope I'm not too late responding. I think agood start might be to ask your doctor to order a blood test to check your alkaline phosphatase, calcium and phosphorus. When these levels are out of range that could mean that you have osteomalcia.
