Warning Signs Of Osteomalacia

Numbness

Another warning sign to pay attention to is a numb feeling in the extremities. Lowered levels of vitamin D mean calcium cannot be properly absorbed, and this calcium depletion in the blood can lead to experiencing numbness and tingling. A patient with osteomalacia might end up experiencing muscle cramps in the arms, legs, hands, and feet, as well as a loss of sensation. Their limbs might also begin to frequently tingle. Additionally, numbness can occur around the mouth, although it is most commonly associated in the appendages. The numbness or tingling might feel like it spreads or becomes worse as osteomalacia progressively worsens.
