Hi,

Please, please, please have your mother get tested for vitamin D deficiency.
The classical finding for vit D deficiency is defective mineralization of bone and cartilage, it is an attempt at structural strengthening by thickening of bony trabeculae, and is due to a lower then usual calcium phosphate ion product in body fluids. I went to an endocrinologist, my regular doctor never even mentioned that vitamin D could be a problem. Bell.
