"Could it be just due to weight gain?? I haven't seen it on anyone else my size / shape though."
Exactly - that's why it doesn't seem to make sense that it's osteoporosis. If he did a full blood work up, ask if he checked the parathyroid glands too. They're responsible for the control of the levels of blood calcium.
27 & osteoporosis? - I've NEVER heard of it & I've read of lots of very unusual medical problems. I love these medical puzzles you can read about in science or medical journals 7 most times, I know the answer, being familiar with them.
Just how much weight gain has happened with you? And is the weight evenly distributed or is it in unusual places or any particular pattern to the distribution?
