Avatar f tn ve been on it ever since, until now.. Nexium eats your calcium, my bones have started to feel like they ache so I started drinking almond milk and drink protein shakes to get the probiotics I need to help the acid and help me eat. My body aches, bones do, and I'm worried that I could developed a type of bone cancer. I didn't ask my mom because she thinks my anxiety screws me in the head makes me worry about 'stupid' stuff.. I just need to know.. Thank you.
Avatar m tn Multiple bones have getting bent in my body not due to an injury including a deviated nasal septum. Is there some sort of week bones disease that I can have?
Avatar n tn There is nothing in the manufacturer's literature regarding bone loss with Nexium. If the Nexium is diminishing your calcium supply then you may need to increase your calcium intake. First, I would suggest a bone density scan to make sure if your calcium levels are low or not and to measure the strength of your bones. Please discuss this issue further with your primary doctor.

Avatar f tn Most women stop having periods, it can cause weight gain, delay future pregnancy if you ever decide to have children, brittle bones etc.
Avatar n tn I heard that with extended use bones will become more brittle with increased % of fractures occurring. Is this correct? If so, At what point (after how many years) is this a problem?
Avatar n tn Evidently a recent study has shown that PPIs and histamine blocking medications used to treat acid reflux may contribute to bone loss. They apparently interfere with the way the body absorbs calcium, which can affect the strength of the bones and make them more prone to fracture. The study found that people who took either PPIs or histamine blockers once daily for a year or longer had an increased risk of hip fracture.
11119474 tn?1428702170 The only draw back is some people over time can get cataracs or brittle bones and other side effects. With anything it is risk/benefit. But your doctor should monitor you. Many people with other diseases such as Lupus and brain tumors are on more steroids. Steroids work on inflammation they do not slow the progression of MS.
1277602 tn?1271113477 For the past 20 years, I have not taken any milk or milk products (cheese, yogurt, butter) etc. Now I feel my bones are brittle, I get cramps and hear my bones make sounds when I sit for a long time or walk fast. My joints ache a lot. I have started to take 300 ml milk everyday now. Is there anything else I can do to enhance my calcium intake please help.
Avatar f tn to answer questions, my symptoms are shortness of breath sometime, brittle nails, dry hair, symptoms that are related to hypothyroidism....they said my thyroid was good.
2020156 tn?1328563786 Cooked chicken bones (well, ANY cooked bones) can be dangerous because the cooking process makes them hard and brittle. When the dog chews them they splinter and the splinters can get stuck in their throats or along the digestive tract. Raw bones are soft and moist and don't splinter, which is why it is safe to feed dogs raw chicken if you follow the BARF (Biologically Appropriate Raw Foods) diet. Keep an eye on her.
Avatar m tn Recently I learned that it can reduce uptake of calcium and have a negative effect on bones. After how long period of taking Esomeprazole this negative effect can occur? How about with other parts of body having calcium, e.g., teeth, quality of saliva, muscle contraction, etc? Thank you.
Avatar f tn ve said it messes with your body entirely to much, not only will it give you fertility issues but it also cause brittle bones it is not safe to be on. Switching to another form of birth control is really the best option.
2020005 tn?1628125976 and she though it was dislocated, and she said it happens quite a bit, she did an x-ray and found out his arm was broken, they did a full skeletal x-ray and found out he had 8 other broken bones, mostly his long bones. She assured me she didn't think we were abusive, as we were very concerned the entire time, and she never even realized anything was wrong in the 8+ visits we saw her, on top of that, he was mild anemic, so if any abuse was occuring, he would've had massive bruising.
Avatar f tn m currently 8 weeks pregnant and will be having another CVS due to the fact that I have a genetic disorder called O.I. (brittle bones). If I could give you any advice about the CVS I would tell you to go on bed rest for 3 days after the CVS procedure because there is a slight chance of miscarriage and even tho I didn't miscarry I still had spotting for 2 days.
639543 tn?1297027634 We requested that test be made for possible temporary brittle bones disease and the pediatrician refuses to do the test. We are horrified and need help! They are possibly losing custody of her and I need to find someone in Central New York to perform these tests before it's too late. Please someone help our family!!!
Avatar n tn I have the feeling he may give me Nexium. That stuff scares me because of the rep it has for harming bones. It blocks magnesium absorption or something? I used to take Zantac but I was doing great for nearly a year now, even without taking it, so I didn't bother. But I think I was drinking too much coffee lately and set it off. Do other people here get head pressure and ear pressure with GERD/chest gas? What are the risks with Nexium? Are there other options to try?
Avatar f tn Hey ladies! I'm getting concerned about this popping noise I hear every time my little girl moves around. I will be 30 weeks on Wednesday. I asked my doctor about it last visit and he stated that he's never heard of this before.. it sounds like an underwater popping of bones. Doc says nothing to worry about but it's still concerning my due to his confusion on it.. what could it be?! Should I be worried?? Thanks ladies!
Avatar f tn I have never heard of fragile bones being a symptom but have they considered that he may have another disorder along with the Chiari. For instance something like Osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease) which causes bones to fracture because they are not being formed properly. I don't know if there is any connection but this disease can also cause bones to form incorrectly which makes you wonder if it could affect the cranial formation too (possibly causing Chiari?
Avatar m tn Your body requires calcium to keep your bones healthy and strong, therefore a lack of calcium puts you at risk of developing osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition where your bones become porous, which makes them brittle and weak. This condition increases your chances of suffering bone fractures, commonly in the hip, wrist and spine. In severe osteoporosis your bones are so brittle, coughing or falling can cause them to break.
Avatar f tn It is the act of cooking the bones that actually changes the properties of the bones, causing them to become brittle and potentially dangerous, though I have also head of the occassional hound that has gotten into the garbage and eaten the whole chicken carcass and survived (TADA!). The moral of my story is, things even "bad" things in moderation are not ALWAYS bad. Using sound judgement and having a couple drinks a week probably won't do a whole lots.
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm not the nurse but I know that periods can be affected by various factors. Diet and exercise are just two. I'm not sure why your doctors didn't follow it up. Decreased periods, from memory, can lead to brittle bones and even issues with fertility.
773755 tn?1328119777 t like the form of calcium they use -- oxide and hydroxide, or what used to be called hydroxy apatite, which strengthens the outside of the bones but leaves the inside brittle. Not the most absorbable form, though some will utilize it okay. Probably left-overs from the shark cartilage. It's not what I would take, but there are worse products out there.
Avatar n tn 5% normal movement now but do i still need to be careful about not exerting it too much? will my bones be in case more sensitive or brittle incase i hurt myself by mistake?
