The symptoms of Osteoporosis are

Often a person may not be aware that he or she has osteoporosis until a fracture occurs. However, if there are symptoms, they could include the following:


Pain due to fractures following a minor fall. Typical osteoporotic fractures occur at the wrist, spine and hips causing pain, deformity and in the case of a hip fracture, an inability to walk.


A gradual loss of height due to spinal fractures. If you have lost 6 cm (2.5 inches) in height since you were a young adult, you may have had a spine fracture.


A stooped posture (hunched back) due to multiple spine fractures. This may cause a person to find that his/her clothes do not fit properly.


Persistent lower or upper back pain in the bones and/or muscles


Brittle fingernails
