Osteoporosis
What are the symptoms?
Osteoporosis is often called a silent disease because it can progress gradually for many years without any symptoms. When symptoms do appear, the most common ones are:
- A broken bone
- Back pain
- Decreased height
- Formation of a rounded upper back (also known as dowager's hump or kyphosis)
- Dull pain, usually in the neck or lower back
