What could be causing this bone(?) pain??
by Oakley64, Nov 05, 2009 12:14PM
I've had pains like this for YEARS...I'm a perfectly healthy 23 y.o female...work out often & eat (relatively) healthy.
I get these very deep, intense pains that feels like it is in my bones...they last for 5 seconds...sometimes more...maybe a minute or so at most though. Most common areas are down in my tibia, through my humerus/elbow area, deep in my hips, knees or in my hands...totally random & bilateral (usually only occurs at one spot at a time). It probably happens a few times a week or so.
I came down with some sort of virus a few days ago (diagnoses over the phone with H1N1...sx are pretty mild though). and I have been having these same pains but at a MUCH higher rate. Its mainly in my right distal posterior/lateral tibia. WHen it occurs, I can barely take a step (for about 2 secs)...it occurs laying down or walking...no motion changes it. It goes away completely on its own but it freaking HURTS for about 2 seconds. its prob happened at LEAST 10 times in the past 2 hours...ughhh
I'm honestly just way more curious as to what the mechanism of this pain is...
I had blood tests done recently & my vit D, calcium, TSH, parathyroid area all perfectly normal

Welcome to the forum!
Well if Vit D, calcium, TSH, parathyroid are all normal, then probably anemia too would have been looked at. If not, then you need a complete blood count, iron and ferritin levels and an assessment of hemoglobin level. At times anemia causes bone pain due to over activity of bone marrow to produce more red cells.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
