Lab Values?? Vets??
Calcium blood level doesn't give you a true picture--only about 10% accurate. You should probably get a "base line" bone scan done. I took my calcium religiously, and had a bone scan 2 years ago. I had "ostopenia" which is the grey area level--inbetween osteoperosis and normal. It may be to not having my D levels at 80-90, as it's been a battle getting my D levels that high. You don't show a D2 level. Script D won't elevate low D levels post op. I took those with minimal results. After 2 1/2 years, my D level was a 65 after taking 4 of the 50K IU dry D3 per week during that time frame. Calcium is best absorbed by your body when D levels are at levels noted. DAVE

Did you have a vitamin D level? Total D, not D2?
