10 Common Osteoporosis Symptoms

Brittle Nails

Osteoporosis can also manifest in the nails; it makes the fingernails grow weak and brittle. Although it looks negligible, brittle nails can be a sign of an underlying medical condition. If you notice that your nails have stopped growing, are breaking off easily, are always looking rough; these all are signs that you should seek medical attention. It is essential to seek medical care as soon as any of these symptoms are noticed because the earlier conditions like osteoporosis are noticed, the better the chances of treatment. [3]
