Change in posture
More than one osteoporotic fracture in your back can lead to humped or stooped posture. As vertebrae of your spine collapse, your spine begins to curve in forward direction. Unfortunately, patient remain unnoticed of this grave issue. He may notice it for the first time when he observes loss in height or experience stabbing pain in the back. Osteoporosis can cause rapid loss of height and it is said that if you have lost more than 3 cm in height (just over 1 inch), it is warning symptom of osteoporosis or any other severe bone issue.
Vertebral fractures remain undiagnosed and this is a worldwide problem. It’s a big issue because one vertebral fracture causes more fractures in the spine and patient ends up with humped back and chronic back pain. Visit your doctor immediately if you observe any abnormal posture in your body.
