Last week or two, when i bend down and then straingen for any reason, i get pain in the back of my head, on both sides at the same time. It is behind and above my ears. Same on both sides.

If i stopped moving around, bending down it gradually disapears. Is this related to OI, or a symptom of something else?

Nice if you can find out, I do not bend down EVER anymore w head down (I squat leaving head up) if I have to reach for a very difficult Pot to cook, I ask hubby. I think is OI but I am not sure, I just avoid it. Lifting arms high is also an issue.

Hi,

Interesting...I can bend down without problems so for me this isn't an OI issue--but I know others with OI have problems bending down. Another one of the oh so many differences!
