I'm 27 Pregnant with osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.?


I've been under a Neurologist care for three years. I had a bone density two weeks before I got prenant. I've ruptured L5 about 3 years ago and my L4 bone density is -2.22 I was 127 at the time. If you are -2 and under 130 it's cosidered osteoporosis. My highest "T" score was -1.83. Anyway, I haven't been able to find anyone else with this problem or anything on the net. So if anyone has or finds any info could you let me know please. Even my neurologist doesn't know what to tell me. He's been doing it for 30 years. I can't be treated for the porosis until May after I have my baby.

You are 27 and pregnant...which means your bones should have plenty of estrogen support for mineralisation..
I don't mean to probe into info. you have not provided but what condition are you having treated by your Neurologist? The reason I ask is if you have Multiple Sclerosis etc or some condition for which you are on Corticosteroids chronically that could explain the demineralisation of your bones..
If not it is pretty unusual and you need to have an endocrinologist evaluate you as you may have one of the conditions that produce early OA..
Hyperparathyroidism
Hypovitaminosis D
Hemochormatosis would be extremely unlikely in a mensturating female.
Find a good endocrinologist or rheumatologist who deals in bone..(not an orthopedic surgeon and not a neurologist) No offense to your neurologist...just that I think your problem is specific enough to need a specialist.
