Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Since parathyroid hormone (PTH) removes calcium from bones, all patients with a parathyroid problem will eventually develop thin bones. Bones with osteoporosis due to parathyroid problems can ache and hurt because the PTH is actively destroying the bone. Bones with osteoporosis are fragile bones which are much more susceptible to fractures and breaks.
Calcium is what makes our bones hard and strong. The calcium level in all parts of our bodies is regulated by the parathyroid glands. That's all the parathyroid glands do--regulate calcium throughout the body.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
