My problem is this: as a child, my dad was diagnosed with osteoporosis in his spine. He crushed 3 vertebra when I was 12yo. His dr put me on supplements to build my bones stronger because he was a dumbass. My parent didn't know any better. My bones were normal. But after taking calcium and some other crap, my bones grew. Large! I have never broken a bone in my life. I has a double discectomy with fusion in C5-6 and C6-7. The plate they fused my neck together with, because my vertebra was so large, matched a person that would be 6'9" tall! Hence my reference in the earlier post. I didn't learn this until I was 44yo. If my weight drops below 220#, I'm actually malnourished. Found that out when I was 35yo and dieter til I was 215#, passed out and fell down a flight of stairs.
