joint pain in teenager

[Krassy]

My 16yr old broke the 4th metatarsel in her right foot in March 2010 dancing. It healed slowly, throughout June 2010. At the beginning of July 2010 she came across uneven ground while running and broke the 5th metatarsel in her left foot. Its a Jones fracture. Let me include that she is 5' 11" and weighs 210lbs. She has been using crutches. During the past week she has been complaining about her both feet hurting, her shoulders, arms and knees. She has alot of dairy in her diet. She also drinks Moutain Dew, four 16oz. soda pops a week. My questions are these, Do you think her bones broke rather easily for someone her age? Should I be worried about her bone density? Is the joint pain because of the crutches and crawling on her knees after both breaks?

I just wanted to take the time to thank you again. My daughter had an ultra sound and they found many cysts in her ovaries. You pointed us in the correct direction and we sincerely thank you.

I read up on PCOS. It through out many red flags. Many of the symptoms applied to her. So I made her an appointment with her doctor. Thank You soooooo much
