How does osteoporosis hurt

First, bone pain, which is an obvious symptom of very common osteoporosis, is mainly low back pain, and the pain can spread along the spine to both sides. When the patient lies on his back, the pain can be alleviated. Standing or sitting for a long time can lead to aggravation of the pain, which is mild in the day, and aggravated at night and early in the morning.

Secondly, pain is the most common and main symptom of osteoporosis. Low back pain is more common, accounting for 70% - 80% of patients with pain. However, most of the patients with osteoporosis do not have abnormal feeling or not obvious feeling in the early to middle stage. In the middle and late stage, it can be manifested as acute pain, residual varying degrees of chronic pain. From the point of view of the pain parts, the most common parts are the waist and back, double ribs, iliac region, chest and back. In severe cases, there are pain all over the body.

Third, the main causes of pain are as follows: (1) excessive bone turnover and increased bone absorption lead to absorption and fracture of bone trabeculae, thinning and perforation of bone cortex, resulting in systemic pain; (2) under the action of gravity, the obvious decrease of bone strength leads to wedge-shaped and fishtail like deformation of vertebral body; ③ Due to the deformation of the bone, the muscle tension attached to the bone changes, the muscle is easy to fatigue, prone to spasm, resulting in intramuscular pain.

matters needing attention

Take various measures to prevent falls, such as paying attention to whether there are diseases and drugs that increase the risk of falls, strengthening the protection measures of oneself and the environment, etc.
