That's the standard answer you'll get from a doctor, Lynda, & it can be valid. Osteoarthritis is becoming more commom among women, especially as they age & it's not as well understood as some think. Higher thyroid levels can lead to faster bone-wasting. Perhaps if you reassure your doctor that you're getting extra calcium, magnesium, & vitamin D plus weight-bearing exercise, he won't feel so nervous.
