Early Signs of Osteopenia

Bone Pain

Osteopenia would lead to compression fractures in the spine. In mild cases, you can feel localized discomfort or pain in the affected bones. However, when these fractures pinch the surrounding nerves, the sensation can become very painful and even spread to other areas. The symptoms would range from mild tenderness to excruciating pain. You can take certain OTC painkillers to relieve pain and improve other symptoms. However, the symptoms will not subside until you treat the underlying condition. It is important to get proper medical attention. If left untreated, bone pain can affect your daily lives and even lead to more severe complications.[4]
