I recently had several tests done for a routine physical. All was ok, & the only test left to have done is the colonoscopy this Friday. However, I was diagnosed with osteopenia in my hips (sp)and have been taking calcium & vitamin D tablets. I am awakened every night now with pain in my lower back, and both hips. Does this happen to anyone? It takes be forever to get back to sleep & its driving me crazy. When I talked to the nurse, she said the pain could be caused by the osteopenia in my hips.
Thanks for any opinions.
