Patient's question:
Recently, I suddenly realized that my chest bones are weak. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told it's rickets. Hello, can you get rickets during the 12-year-old growth and development period? Treatment history and effectiveness: None. What kind of help do you need: Please clarify for meDoctor's answer:
Scoliosis is caused by calcium deficiency, not something that comes on suddenly. It is a result of long-term calcium deficiency from a young age, but you've only just noticed it now. In childhood, there should have been symptoms such as excessive thirst, easily startled during naps, rib flaring, or X-shaped or O-shaped legs. It's a bit late to realize it now, but if you've noticed it, you should actively seek treatment. The key to treatment is proper calcium supplementation. I recommend taking cross-linked amino acid chelated calcium capsules, as this medication is very well absorbed and utilized.
