I found this link about Osteomalacia (softening of the bones)
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000376.htm
It's causes are: not enough calcium, Vitamin D.
The one I am interested in is the side effects of our medications. I have noticed that one of my bones bend in a little when I just put on my socks. Has anyone else noticed that they have this problem?

It's causes are: not enough calcium, Vitamin D.
1. Not enough Vitamin D in the diet. 2. Not enough exposure to sunlight, which produces vitamin D in the body.
Use of very strong sunscreen, limited exposure of the body to sunlight, short days of sunlight and smog are factors that reduce formation of Vitamin D in the body. The elderly and those who avoid drinking milk are at increased risk for osteomalacia.
Another condition that may cause osteomalacia include:
Phosphate depletion associated with not enough phosphates in the diet
Side effects of medications used to treat seizures.
