hi i also have a 16month old daughter with rickets. the dr said that her body is resistant to the vit d tablet, hence she needs to be given a 'special' kind of vit d tablet to treat her condition. i am just wondering if the vit d dosage will have any side effect on her? jus a 2nd opinion from those who have been experiencing this. tq for ur response.

I am a twenty five year old female with rickets. I have had one knee surgery to straighten it, but I have never really had any bone pains until now! I am taking osteobioflex and calcium, but I am still in a lot of pain. The pain is just in my shoulder right now, but it is keeping me from sleeping and doing my job!

Hello, I'm a 31 year old female that suffers from rickets. I have had 6 surgeries on both legs. I had to have my left knee replaced and right hip as well. Now I also have decay of teeth (had to have many repairs), psoriasis, and am in lots of pain in my whole body.

Hi, I'm a 30 year old female also suffering from rickets since the age of 2. I've also had a few operations, but have been doing well until recently. I'm really worried and afraid that i might also need a hip replacement. I just want to know how the hip replacement went. How long does it take to heal? I'm also walking on crutchers for the past two years. How do you get around?

Wow... How great to hear of others with the same condition. I am a 46 year old female and was born with rickets. I have had 9 operations on my knees. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid 2- 3 years ago and have been told today my cholestrol is too high, so now on tablets for that. I have been told the thyroid is quite common with a lack of vitamin D
