A member asked:
What causes bone thinning at 28yo (female?) my teeth have begun to chip away and my bones are hurting. i'm scared something will break soon. my spine is showing degeneration?

You have a condition called Osteoporosis, from a lack of calcium and vitamin D in your diet. This causes the bones to become thin and brittle. Your teeth are also affected and become brittle from lack of calcium and subject to fracture. A complete medical exam is indicated and a change in diet.
