Hi Dolores,
I'm sorry that you're in such pain! It's hard to determine, though, if the pain you are experiencing is normal.
Have you talked your doctor about it? What did the doctor say?
Osteoarthritis generally affects the joints. I don't know if it's typical to have pain in the middle of a bone. I suggest you see your doctor right away to talk about possible causes and remedies.
