There is much debate about this test. Some doctors believe bone density testing can provide valuable information and help women decide when hormone or drug treatment may be beneficial. Conversely, many people are aware of the 'medicalization' of the aging process and warn against it. They see no reason to treat a natural process, like menopause, as a disease.The foot and leg cramp issue is like having your own power surges of energy in your legs and feet. If you could harness the energy you could likely power your household.
