Hello Rita,
I am Dr Mbong. Th symptoms you are experiencing can be a purely neurological problem as well as purely precursor signs of an impending heart and blood vessels problem. It can also be unrelated to both and rather secondary to medication you may have or are currently taking for your osteoporosis or other medical condition. It can also be a vitamin or mineral deficiency.
Since many conditions can cause this problem, I prefer in order to diagnose the correct cause of your symptoms, that you consult a specialist physician (preferably a neurologist) for a thorough examination and appropriate laboratory investigations.
Best wishes and quick recovery,
Dr Mbong

Hi. I have ti say that you are pretty young for disorders such as osteoporosis and heart disease. But, symptoms you are saying can be caused by either neurologic and vascular diseases. You should do doppler ultrasound of the legs to find is there any thrombosis of legs arteries and veins. If this is normal then neurologic work up must be done to rule out some serious disorders.
Also osteoporiss can cause bone changes which can compress nerves in spine and pelvis so rtg and CT scan can evaluate this.
Wish you good health.
