1.Symptoms
You probably won’t have any symptoms in early-stage osteoporosis. Once your bones get weak enough, you might start having back pain from fractured or collapsed vertebrae. You may also start leaning forward in a stooped position and measure an inch or two less than before your bone loss.
2.Fractures
Sometimes a bone fracture is the first way you know you have osteoporosis. Fractures can happen in any bone, but are most common in your hip, wrist, and spine. It doesn’t take a fall to cause a fracture in weak bones. You can get one climbing stairs, lifting heavy objects, or even leaning forward. These kinds of fractures can cause long-term chronic health problems.
