Body Changes
One of the most typical signs of osteopenia is a change in the body posture. When bone density is affected, it would lead to compression fractures in the spine. Over time, this would lead to a loss of height. It can be difficult to notice this change in the early stages. Another possible symptom is the slight curving of your upper back, which can be triggered by the compression of your vertebrae. This results in a stopped back, which is also known as kyphosis. This condition would cause neck and back pain. In more serious cases, it would even affect breathing because of restricted expansion of the lings and extra pressure on your airway.[5]
