Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis can be a source of chronic back pain.  When your bones weaken, you can develop continuous micro-fractures to you back that leads to chronic pain.  These micro-fractures lead to humping of your spine and shrinking of your height.  Now you know why your 86 year old Aunt is now 3 inches shorter than you remember.  Get tested for osteoporosis.  Start treatments if necessary.  Take Vitamin D3 and Calcium after discussion with your Family Doctor or rheumatologist.
