Bone pain seems to be common with bone loss, @contentandwell. When I lay down at night the shins in my legs and often the bones in my arms really ache, it's not a muscle ache but a bone pain. Is that what you experience as well? Have you had your parathyroid hormone level checked recently? As long as you are bothering your doctor, why not ask about that as well. An abnormal parathyroid level can cause bone loss, too.
