Why is osteoporosis painful

Pain is one of the three major clinical manifestations of osteoporosis. This reason is also very simple. In fact, the pain of osteoporosis is caused by fracture, but this fracture is not a fracture in the normal sense. It is a fiber fracture. It is normal that it cannot be seen. It can only be seen under the microscope. Osteoporosis is caused by bone loss, changes in bone microstructure, and a decrease in bone mechanical load-bearing capacity, resulting in brittle bone. A normal force can cause fractures. The initial fracture is a fibrous fracture, which will cause local bone pain. As the fibrous fracture continues to worsen, it will cause vertebral compression fractures. Therefore, the cause of osteoporosis pain is from small fractures and then gradually accumulate into large fractures.
