Symptoms of OSTEOPOROSIS


Osteoporosis can affect many bones. Involvement of the spine is common. It can lead to backache. The majority of times, however, there may not be any symptoms. If a pathological fracture occurs, there may be a sudden increase in pain over the involved bone. Swelling and bruising may commonly occur at the site of fracture. Collapse of many vertebra can occur and lead to deformity of the spine and loss of height. Fractures can occur in the hip and arm and appear frequently to be the result of minor trauma.
