does osteoporosis cause pain - #25943
I am a 58-year-old woman who's been feeling really strange lately. Whenever I go to get up from the couch or do simple things like bending down, I sometimes feel this sudden pain shooting through my back. Like, what even is that? I started to wonder if I might have osteoporosis since my mom had it, and I’ve read that does osteoporosis cause pain? I went to my doc, and they did some bone density tests but said it was just a bit low, not full-blown osteoporosis yet. But I can't shake this pain feeling! I mean, do other people feel this kind of pain, or is it just me? Sometimes it feels like I’m 80 instead of 50-something! I’ve also been a bit worried about falling because you know how they say that osteoporotic fractures can be really scary? Does osteoporosis cause pain when it's just starting, or does it only get worse later? I’ve been stretching and trying to stay active, but the pain’s making it tough. Anyone else in the same boat? Would love some of your thoughts or experiences!
