Strong bones in the body are very important for our routine, physical activity and health. But many people constantly complain of bone pain, stiffness or heaviness. This pain can be felt sometimes in the waist, sometimes in the knees, sometimes in the back or shoulders. Many times this pain increases when the weather changes and sometimes after sitting or standing for a long time. Some people also have trouble walking. This situation increases with age, but now these symptoms are being seen in young people. It can be not only a common pain but also a sign of a serious illness or lack of nutrition. Therefore, it is very important to know and treat the reason for this in time.
Constant pain in bones is not just an discomfort, but it affects the functioning of the entire body. This also makes normal work difficult to move, climb or bending stairs. Due to prolonged pain, a person’s body starts to become weak and fatigue feels quickly. Many times, sleep is not complete due to pain, which also increases mental stress and irritability. The risk of fracture also increases due to weakness of bones. This situation can be serious especially in the elderly. In addition, persistent pain can also worsen physical balance, which increases the chances of falling and injury. Therefore, taking bone pain lightly can be overwhelming for health.
Which disease is the cause of bone pain?
Unit Head Dr. Akhilesh Yadav in Orthopedic Department at Max Hospital It is said that persistent pain in bones can be a sign of many diseases. The most common cause is osteoporosis, in which bones become weak and hollow. It is especially seen in women after menopause. Apart from this, vitamin D and calcium deficiency also makes bones weak, which causes frequent pain. Sometimes diseases like osteoarthritis (arthritis) or rahematoid arthritis also cause swelling and pain in joints and bones. This problem is due to autoimmune disorder, in which the body’s immune system starts attacking its own bones.
In some cases, serious diseases like osteomyelitis or cancer can also be the cause of this pain. If someone has dengue, chikungunya or viral fever, then even after that, there can be long pain in the bones. Therefore, if the pain is long and is not recovering from normal measures, then it is necessary to consult a doctor.
