Q: what if my BONES hurt (particularly my pelvic bones) but NOT my joints. I am not overweight.

I have pain in my pelvis, both at the iliac crest and the ischium point (sitz bones), even when I don't sit, or move. It hurts to read a book in bed and rest the book on my lap. I am very fit and thin. (5'4", 106  lb. ) I have been a walker for fitness for years and completed 3  60 mile breast cancer fundraisers. My muscles feel fine. I am waiting for blood results from a hemotologist since I have random bruising as well. I also have extreme tenderness around my 10th rib at the cartilidge on both sides. This has been for over a year, and getting worse.Any ideas? I have been all over  the internet trying to find answers...

Get checked out for Osteomyelitis with a nuclear bone scan, not a regular x-ray.
