It is a rare disease

Osteoporosis, often called the “silent bone disease,” is one of the most popular health issues affecting older adults, especially women after menopause. The condition lessens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. Because osteoporosis grows slowly and may not cause obvious symptoms at first, many people do not realize they have it until a fracture happens. Understanding the early signs and taking preventive measures are key to protecting your bone health.

Back Pain or Sudden Spinal Discomfort

Compression fractures in the vertebrae can cause unpredicted back pain. This is often one of the first signs of bone weakening.
